GREEN TOMATO (OR TOMATILLO) SALSA
Try this one. It's from National Center for Home Food Preservation. It's a great way to use up those green tomatoes at the end of the season. Note: I do not peel the green tomatoes or the peppers. This is great for enchiladas or burritos.

Steps:
- Caution: Wear plastic or rubber gloves and do not touch your face while handling or cutting hot peppers. If you do not wear gloves, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or eyes.
- Preparing Tomatillos: Remove the dry outer husks from tomatillos; wash thoroughly. They do not need to be peeled or seeded.
- Preparing Peppers: The skin of long green chiles may be tough and can be removed by heating the peppers. Usually when peppers are finely chopped, they do not need to be skinned. If you choose to peel chiles, slit each pepper along the side to allow steam to escape. Peel using one of these two methods:.
- Oven or broiler method to blister skins - Place chiles in a hot oven (400°F) or broiler for 6 to 8 minutes until skins blister.
- Range-top method to blister skins - Cover hot burner (either gas or electric) with heavy wire mesh. Place peppers on burner for several minutes until skins blister.
- To peel, after blistering skins, place peppers in a pan and cover with a damp cloth. (This will make peeling the peppers easier.) Cool several minutes; slip off skins. Discard seeds and chop.
- The peppers do not need to be peeled, but seeds are often removed.
- Hot Pack: Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir frequently over high heat until mixture begins to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2O minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle hot into clean, hot pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids.
- Process pints for 15 minutes in a BWB.
- Note: You may use green tomatoes in this recipe or tomatillos.
- Important: The only other change you can safely make in this salsa recipe is to change the amount of spices and herbs. Do not alter the proportions of vegetables to acid and tomatoes because it might make the salsa unsafe. Do not substitute vinegar for the lemon juice.

GREEN TOMATO SALSA VERDE
Mexican salsa verde usually is made with tomatillos, not green tomatoes. (Tomatillos are in the same family as green tomatoes, but more closely related to the gooseberry.) But this version is a beautiful and delicious salsa, even without tomatillos.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the green tomatoes on the baking sheet, stem-side down, and place under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat. Broil two to five minutes, until charred. Using tongs, turn the tomatoes over, and grill on the other side for two to five minutes, until blackened. Remove from the heat. When cool enough to handle, core the tomatoes and remove the charred skin. Quarter and place in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade (I prefer the blender).
- Add the remaining ingredients, except the water, to the blender or food processor, and blend to a coarse or a smooth puree (to your taste). Transfer to a bowl, taste and adjust seasonings, and thin out with water if desired. Allow to stand for 30 minutes or longer before serving to allow the flavors to develop. You may wish to thin out after it stands.

QUICK GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA
I make this tangy, versatile tomatillo salsa to accompany a range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's always great with shrimp and fish, and it's my go-to salsa for tacos with chicken in the filling, and with vegetables like potatoes and greens, summer squash and corn. I roast the tomatillos under the broiler before blending them to get a deep, toasty flavor. You can also roast the chiles if you want a deeper roasted-spicy flavor, as opposed to grassy-spicy flavor. If you wish to roast the chiles alongside the tomatillos, place the whole chiles on the baking sheet, too; they will be done faster than the tomatillos, only a minute or two on each side. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop, then proceed with the recipe.

Steps:
- Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
- Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

Tips:
- When selecting green tomatoes for salsa, choose firm, unblemished tomatoes that are just starting to turn green. Avoid tomatoes that are too ripe or have soft spots.
- Tomatillos can be used in place of green tomatoes for a slightly tangier salsa. Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color.
- Roasting the tomatoes or tomatillos before making the salsa will intensify their flavor. To roast, place the tomatoes or tomatillos on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Use a variety of chiles to add heat and flavor to the salsa. Some good options include serrano peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros. Be sure to remove the seeds from the chiles before chopping them to reduce the heat level.
- Add fresh herbs, such as cilantro, oregano, or basil, to the salsa for a pop of flavor. You can also add other ingredients, such as corn, black beans, or avocado, to create a more substantial salsa.
Conclusion:
Green tomato or tomatillo salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you are using it as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos or burritos, or a marinade for chicken or fish, this salsa is sure to please.
