TASTE OF THE DAY - TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE

The yummy looks and sounds of gastronomic delight were heard all day long today at Johnny Appleseed Days in Lake City.  The taste of the day was Michael's TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE taken from The Great Salsa Book by Mark Miller.  Simple and quick to make but exploding with flavor!  Here it is:

TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE

(from The Great Salsa Book by Mark Miller and slightly modified)

Heat scale: 5 (Scale 0 to 10)

1 pound Tomatillos, husked, cleaned, and roughly chopped.
3 serrano chiles, with seeds (Today Michael used 4 jalapenos without seeds.)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (1 bunch)
2 T fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tsp sugar (In Michael's hurried state this morning he misread and added 1 T sugar)
1 tsp salt (same as above tasty mistake - Michael added 1 T salt)

Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree.  Done!  Ready to serve and yields about 2 cups.  An all-purpose salsa verde is especially good with tortilla chips, most seafood, and eggs!
