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.
TOMATILLO FREE SALSA VERDE
Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce, and verde is the Spanish word for green. While the vast majority of mexican green sauces use tomatillos as their base, this recipe has only two ingredients, and neither one is tomatillo. I "discovered" this salsa at a roadside taco stand near TECNOLOGICO DE MONTERREY, the premier university in Monterrey, Mexico. I was traveling to Monterrey monthly for about a year, and I frequented this taco stand on my visits. It took alot of work for me to get the owner of the business to give me his recipe. I was amazed by this salsa's spice, flavor and simplicity.

Steps:
- Place the jalepeno (s) in a food processor or blender.
- Purée the jalepeno.
- Slowly incorporate the corn oil, while continuing to chop the jalepeno, creating an emulsification.
- *NOTES:I use a mini food chopper with a small cup on the lid, and there are small holes in the lid/cup bottom that allow liquid to drizzle into the mixing bowl.
- Because of the varying size of jalepeños, the desired thickness of your sauce and the ability of you and your guests to withstand the heat, combined with the slow speed at which you should be adding the corn oil, the quantity of oil needed will vary slightly.
- If you are incorporating your oil correctly, it is impossible to add too much.
- ALSO, the orriginal recipe called for boiling the jalepeños before puréeing them, to soften the edge of the jalepeños.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled or quadroupled, etc.
