With variations that include roasted tomatillos, grilled jalapeños, and the addition of fruits like mango or pineapple, salsa verde offers a range of flavors to suit different palates and preferences. Whether you prefer a classic, mild version or a spicy, smoky rendition, there's a salsa verde recipe waiting to tantalize your taste buds.

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.

ROASTED GREEN TOMATO SALSA
My sister inspired me to make a green salsa similar to how you would make one by roasting tomatillos, but using all green tomatoes instead. This is a tangy and fresh tasting salsa using fresh lime juice and cilantro. Change the peppers and spices to your liking! Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish.

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
Steps:
- Halve the green tomatoes and slice out the interior section around the stem (see the instructional image in my post), then cut in half again to make quarters. Lay out the tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Turn on the broiler in your oven and set the baking sheet on a top rack a few inches from the flames. Broil for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. (If your oven does not have a broiler, use the hottest temperature your oven can reach and roast for 10 minutes or until lightly browned).
- Meanwhile, add the diced onions to a bowl and fill with cold water to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the broiled green tomatoes to your food processor and pulse a few times to break them into pieces. Drain the water from the onion and add it along with the peppers, salt, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse a few more times, until the desired texture is reached. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and lime juice if desired. The green tomato salsa can be served immediately, but it's even better after an hour or more in the fridge for the flavors to meld.
GREEN TOMATO SALSA
As an act of desperation last year I had to come up with something to do with 50 pounds of green tomatoes. After I used all the recipes I could find, I devised my own green tomato salsa.

Steps:
- 1. Place all ingredients in a food processor (any order you want) and let fly. Your end result should not be pureed smooth, it should be lumpy and chunky.
- 2. Since most food processors wont handle that much at once, just do the ingredients as much as you can, then mix together by hand in a bowl.
- 3. The salsa should be allowed to "sit" in the refrigertor for at least 24 hours before you use it so the flavors can meld best.
- 4. After the 24 hour "sitting" you can freeze as much of this as you want, and it thaws beautifully!
