Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 During my honeymoon in central Mexico, my husband and I took a cooking class. This is one of my favorite recipes from it. It is super-healthy and tastes delicious on eggs, taco salad, grilled chicken, fish, healthy chicken enchiladas, etc etc. You can find tomatillos at most grocery stores, they look like little green tomatoes with husks on them. Choose the smallest ones you can find, they are the sweetest, the color doesn't have to be perfect. Salsa Verde 1/2 lb tomatillos (remove husks) 1 slice onion (about 1/4 inch thick) 1 garlic clove 1 canned chipotle chili (preserved jalapeno) OR 1 serrano bunch of cilantro plus stems salt to taste 1/2 to 1 cup low-fat, low-salt chicken broth 1 TB vegetable oil (optional--also can use Pam) Blend all ingredients except oil in food processor. Don't worry about coring the tomatillos or trimming the stems off the cilantro. Just toss it all in. Use raw for: chips, veggies Cook for ten minutes in sauce pan with vegetable oil until dark green. Use cooked for eggs, enchiladas, tamales, etc. We usually cook half of the batch, it is also good warm on chips or in a soft taco (among other non-BFL approved foods :-) Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
