GREEN TOMATO SALSA VERDE
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.

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.

[email protected]This salsa was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a huge fan of green tomatoes. I would recommend using ripe tomatoes if you're not sure how you'll like the tartness of green tomatoes.

[email protected]I was really excited to try this salsa, but I was disappointed with the results. The salsa was too tart for my taste and the texture was a bit too chunky. I think I'll stick to my regular salsa recipe next time.
