salsa verde, people!

so, i bought a box of tomatillos from the jersey girl farmer on saturday, and she so kindly supplied me with this recipe for salsa verde. How is it that I never touched a tomatillo before? what a beautiful fruity vegetable! this salsa turned out amazing (if i might say so myself) just a little bit spicy, smoky and sweet. so yummy. 

Salsa Verde

1 1/2 lb tomatillos

1/2 C chopped white onion

1/2 C cilantro leaves

1 T fresh lime juice

1/4 tsp sugar

2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded & chopped

salt to taste

1. Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under broiler for about 5-7 minutes to lightly blacken skin.

2. Place tomatillos & all the other ingredients into blender or food processor and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed. Season to taste with salt. Cool in refrigerator.
