ROASTED SPICY SALSA VERDE
Roasted-pepper green salsa just like grandma makes it, well, minus the molcajete. It's just easier to make in a food processor. The heat of your salsa can be controlled by the amount of seeds and membrane you leave in the pepper pods.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Lay the poblano peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot grill, and cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the pepper skins are evenly charred and blackened, and the tomatillos have turned pale yellow and started to ooze juice, about 10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill.
- Scrape off most of the burned pepper skin, cut the stems off, cut the peppers in half the long way, and remove the seeds.
- Place the onion and garlic in the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse about 4 times to chop. Drop in the peppers, pulse 4 times to roughly chop, and add the tomatillos and salt. Pulse 4 or more times to the desired smoothness, and stir in the cilantro.

Add more water if needed to keep the mixture from burning as it cooks.

Tips:
- To make the most flavorful salsa verde, use fresh, ripe ingredients. Look for tomatillos that are firm and green, and cilantro that is vibrant and aromatic.
- If you don't have tomatillos, you can substitute green tomatoes. Just be sure to peel and seed them before using.
- You can adjust the heat of the salsa verde by adding more or less jalapeño pepper. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the pepper before chopping.
- Be sure to taste the salsa verde before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
- Salsa verde is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. Serve it over grilled chicken or fish, or use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips.
Conclusion:
Salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for adding a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes. With its fresh, bright flavors, salsa verde is a great way to enjoy the taste of summer all year long.
