Salsa Verde

Donated by C. Scott Baker-Overbay pridelin@wolfenet.com

4 Poblano Chiles 
1 lb. tomatillos, husked, washed and quartered 
1/2 Large Red Onion 
2-3 Cloves Garlic 
1 Bunch Cilantro 
Salt to taste 

Optional Roast the chiles until outside is charred. This can be done over a gas flame, under the broiler, or just deep fried until entire surface is blistered. Use care if deep frying, as chiles tend to splatter. Put roasted peppers into a paper bag, and allow to sweat for around 30 minutes, then peel under cold water. Skin should come off easily.

Cut stems off poblanos. If a milder salsa is desired the seeds can be removed, but I prefer them left in. Put roasted & peeled chiles in to a blender. Add the quartered tomatillos, the onion and the garlic. Pulse blender until well chopped. Add Cilantro and blend until smooth. Taste salsa and correct seasoning with salt as desired.

Note: Some people add 1/2 to 1 teas. sugar to this salsa to take the "edge" off the tomatillos. I personally like the tangy taste. Enjoy this spicy salsa with meats, chips etc.

It is especially good with pork, or as an ingredient in pozole verde .
