A tasty twist to salsa; great served over cream cheese with tortilla chips or crackers! A great way to save those green tomatoes when there is an early frost. I created this recipe with the assistance of my daughter-in-law Carolyn and her niece Felicia. Thanks you two. Portion out remaining salsa into bags; freeze or refrigerate.

1 pound vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped fine (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

GREEN TOMATO SALSA VERDE



Green Tomato Salsa Verde image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     condiments, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield About 1 3/4 cups (more if thinned with water)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound green tomatoes
2 to 3 jalapeño or serrano peppers (more to taste)
1/2 medium onion, preferably a white onion, chopped, soaked for five minutes in cold water, drained, rinsed and drained again on paper towels
Salt to taste
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 to 1/2 cup water, as needed (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use a combination of ripe red tomatoes and green tomatoes for a mix of flavors and colors. Look for tomatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky taste. Roast the tomatoes until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the salsa. Use a variety of herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint.
  • Don't over blend the salsa: Leave some chunks of tomatoes and vegetables in the salsa for a more rustic texture. Over-blending will make the salsa too smooth.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the recipe. Remove the seeds and ribs of the pepper before chopping it to control the heat level.
  • Serve the salsa fresh: Salsa is best served fresh. Make it just before you plan to serve it, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This red and green tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping chips, topping tacos and burritos, or adding flavor to grilled meats and fish. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
