RED AND GREEN SALSA



Red and Green Salsa image

This is good stuff - not the chunky kind but the kind you wish you could fit more of on your tortilla chip. Developed by San Francisco Chef Traci Des Jardins, cut out of an article in the New York Times food section. Tomatillos look like little green tomatoes in husks. If you don't have any available where you live, use a cup of salsa verde (green salsa) and adjust the additional heat downward accordingly. I've tried it both ways.
