What a difference homemade salsa is from the store-bought counterparts. I recently made this salsa recipe for the first\u00a0Halal Test Kitchen<\/strong>\u00a0event where I was able to easily demonstrate the making of this recipe in under a few minutes. Everyone at the event was able to make their own tacos and top with this delicious green salsa they now knew how to make.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/a>These tomatoes from my community garden spot were perfect for this salsa, but traditionally,\u00a0<\/em>tomatillos<\/strong> are used instead. It just goes to show how versatile this recipe is–and very helpful when those tomatoes sitting on your vine just won’t ripen at the end of summer, yet it’s too cold to keep them outdoors any longer.\u00a0More often than not, I make this salsa with tomatillos. They are easily found at Mexican grocers or international markets that cater to an Hispanic customer base, or simply those who love to cook interesting, multicultural cuisine<\/strong>.\u00a0I like to give mine a bath in cool water to rinse off any dirt and debris before cooking, otherwise all that stuff just stays around them.<\/p>\n

\"soaking<\/a><\/p>\n

I remove the husks as well and give another thorough rinse.\u00a0The tomatillos may feel a bit sticky, which is normal. Don’t try to do anything about that- just proceed and the stickiness goes away in the cooking process.<\/p>\n

\"remove<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a cooked salsa so you’ll need to plan accordingly if you’re making it for a party or to go with a particular recipe<\/a>. It really doesn’t take that\u00a0<\/em>long to make, but you still need to allow for the cooking-and cooling off- of the tomatillos plus the chili pepper or jalape\u00f1o and garlic that is boiled with it.<\/p>\n

\"boil<\/a><\/p>\n

Approximately 15 minutes of cooking and an additional 10 for cooling down after straining the cooked produce. Strain it gently because the tomatillos become so soft that you can lose some valuable contents in this process.<\/p>\n

\"drain<\/a><\/p>\n

Because I throw in the garlic with the skin on, you can peel after the cooking and cooling process. It’s much easier than trying to fight it beforehand.<\/p>\n

\"remove<\/a><\/p>\n

Once everything has cooled, you can add salt and cilantro to a food processor with the cooked ingredients and give it a whirl.<\/p>\n

\"add<\/a><\/p>\n

It doesn’t take long and the mixture is slightly gelatinous, which is normal.<\/p>\n

\"blend\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That helps the tortilla chips to cling to the salsa, anyway…<\/p>\n

\"bowl<\/p>\n

And it makes it easier to spoon onto tacos, too…<\/p>\n

This was my friend and neighbor’s reaction when she first tried it- so I asked if I could quote her, just for fun…<\/p>\n

“The salsa was great. While there are a few brands of salsa out there that can be eaten with a spoon\/fork like an Arabic style\u00a0tomato salad, this one is definitely the kind that goes with nacho chips!\u00a0 Tasting it alone with my tongue was average good; Eating it with the chips makes it perfect!\u00a0 The salsa compliments the chips, and the chips make the flavor of the salsa stand out!\u00a0 It totally serves the purpose of a salsa and\u00a0\u00a0it certainly fits the original definition of sauce!”<\/em><\/p>\n
