Salsa Verde

1 1/2 lbs tomatillos, shells removed
1 jalapeno, chopped
1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
Salt to taste
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos. Boil for about 5-10 minutes or until
the tomatillos get fairly soft and start splitting a bit. Meanwhile, combine all of the other
ingredients except the lemon juice and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the tomatillos right
from the boiling water into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Use an immersion
blender (food processor or blender would work fine too) and blend until smooth or the
consistency that you would like. Add lemon/lime juice and salt to taste.
This salsa goes well with many dishes. It can be used as a dip for chips, a topping for meat
or eggs, or even a sauce for enchiladas.
