SALSA VERDE: GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA
Steps:
- Whether you choose the verdant, slushy, herby freshness of the all-raw tomatillo salsa or the oil-colored, voluptuous, sweet-sour richness of the roasted version, tomatillos are about brightening tang. The buzz of the fresh hot green chile adds thrill, all of which adds up to a condiment most of us simply don't want to live without.
- For the All-Raw version: Roughly chop the tomatillos and the chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, chiles, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Process to a coarse puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.
- For the Roasted version:
- Preheat a broiler.
- Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until darkly roasted, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more will give you splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos and chiles, including all the delicious juice that has run onto the baking sheet. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, blend to a coarse puree, and scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove the excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.

Steps:
- Combine parsley, zest, salt and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Use a rasp grater to finely grate garlic into the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Just before serving, stir in vinegar. Taste and adjust salt and acid as needed. (Acid will dull the vibrant flavor and color of the herbs over time, so if you plan to store some of the sauce for future use, add acid to only the portion you're using. Sauce, without vinegar, will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before using.)

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor for this salsa. If you can't find fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted, but use only half the amount.
- Choose the right tomatoes: Ripe, juicy tomatoes are essential for this salsa. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are less watery than other varieties.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients: A chunky salsa is more flavorful than a finely chopped salsa. Chop the ingredients into small pieces, but not so small that they lose their texture.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Let the salsa rest: Let the salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
This green herb salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its fresh, herbaceous flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
