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.

This is another great recipe from Sabrosa which is a local entertainment and dining guide. The tomatillos give this an almost citrusy bite. It is a great sauce for spooning on tacos, serving with chips or garnishing your favorite soup or beans. Leave the seeds in the jalapeno if you want this really "hot".

CREAMY SALSA VERDE



Creamy Salsa Verde image

One of my new coworkers, Maria, brought me a zip-top bag of washed and prepped ingredients and told me to just throw it all in a blender. In a matter of seconds, this delicious salsa verde was born! The salsa gets its creaminess from the addition of avocado. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from all 3 jalapenos; for extra spicy, leave them all in. I prefer to leave the seeds in only 1 jalapeno.

SALSA VERDE



Salsa Verde image

Fresh herbs are essential to this piquant condiment. It can be served with various meat or fish dishes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 anchovy fillets, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon capers
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • With a mortar and pestle, mash anchovies, garlic, and capers to a paste with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stir in lemon juice and remaining olive oil. At this point, salsa can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • When ready to serve, stir in chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Use within 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm, green, and have no blemishes. Avoid tomatillos that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and mint, add a lot of flavor to salsa verde. Use as many different herbs as you like.
  • Don't over-blend the salsa: Salsa verde should have a chunky texture. If you blend it too much, it will become smooth and lose its flavor.
  • Taste the salsa before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Conclusion:

Salsa verde is a versatile sauce that can be used in many different ways. It is great on tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp. Salsa verde is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your meals.
