Salsa Verde (Green Salsa)


This is a great "green salsa" recipes. It is very easy to make and even
more fun to eat. It tastes wonderful on chips, and is especially good to
use as a sauce for chicken enchiladas!

Ingredients
4 cups water 
2 tsp. salt 
2-3 cloves of garlic 
2-4 chile serranos 
1 lb tomates verdes, (tomatillos) husks removed; find them in any grocery store
1/2 cup cilantro 
1/3 cup chopped onion 

In a saucepan, bring the water and one teaspoon of salt to a boil. Then add the
garlic, chiles and tomates verdes. Simmer uncovered until the tomatillos start to
turn a lighter shade of green.. Drain but reserve one half cup of the liquid. 
Transfer the garlic, chiles, tomates verdes and reserved liquid to a blender. Add
the cilantro and remaining salt and puree. Transfer to a bowl 
Stir in the onion and let the sauce cool before serving. I sometimes like to eat it
warm though. 
Serve this salsa with any kind of meat, especially pork!

Enjoy!
