My college roommate made this for my bridal shower about 13 years ago - and I loved it! And periodically I break down and make it - and for weeks after I wonder why I don't do it more often. Other than the trip to the grocery store (as opposed to Aldi's) - or in my case SuperWalmart (horrors!) for the special tomatillos this is a total NO WORK salsa that is so yummy and delicious - and unlike store bought salsa - it's sodium free - and can be sugar free! I love it on chips, salad, chicken, nachos, you name it! So what's to it you ask?
1 pound green tomatillos (freshest when the green/brown skin is still tight
about 1/2 jalapeno pepper (seeded)
1/2 cup white onion
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
juice of 1/2 medium lime
1/4 tsp sugar - optional - I usually omit
place tomatillos in a pot of boiling water - boil additional 5 minutes - skins will loosen
drain, cool to touch, remove skins and core.
Place everything in a food processor or blender - do your magic until it's the consistency desired. Some like it runnier, some chunkier - it's your salsa!
We served on top of chicken nachos (diced chicken, tortilla chips, colby-jack cheese broiled for about 4 minutes). Black olives would have been added, but we were out - and of course the sour cream goes in last!
Here's my reduced carb version - no chips for me, just a huge ole' salad with tons of salsa as dressing!
