Cinco de Mayo: Salsa Verde


I modified a salsa verde recipe I found at simplyrecipes.com just a little, and let me say... THIS IS AMAZING!!!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs fresh tomatillos
2/3 cup chopped white onion
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1 lime (cut into wedges and squeeze out the lime juice)
2 jalapeno peppers (cut off stems, remove seeds and chop)
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tsp salt (or add to taste)

Remove the papery shells from the tomatillos and rinse well (they are kind of sticky).  Cut in half and place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.  Broil in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the skins are slightly blackened.  Place roasted tomatillos, onion, cilantro, peppers, and garlic in a blender or food processor until finely chopped.  Add salt.  Refrigerate to allow all of the juices to mix together.  Enjoy!
