ZESTY SALSA VERDE

Zesty Salsa Verde image

Last year was the first time I had ever grown tomatillos. They were so abundant that I had enough to eat fresh, give away and freeze for future gatherings. What I didn't expect was how well the salsa would freeze. I do like to add an extra zip by juicing a fresh lime into the salsa after it has thawed. -Kim Banick, Salem, Oregon

I'm not sure about the anchovies in this recipe. I'm not a big fan of fish.

This salsa verde is a great way to use up fresh herbs. I always have a bunch of parsley, cilantro, and basil in my garden, so this is a perfect recipe for me.
