Dd's Tomatillo Salsa Verde

I had to google "tomatillo", and this is what I found:  Tomatillos are sometimes called Mexican green tomatoes and they belong to the same family as tomatoes. Tomatillos taste a little more like lemon, apples and herbs than green tomatoes, but they’re still very similar.

And then, Italian parsley and cilantro also seem like the same thing to me, but I guess they're not.  At any rate, this looks good, especially the "seared" and "charred" part.

TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE

 

6 medium tomatillos, husks removed

1 jalapeno pepper, halved

½ small red onion, coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic

½ c. cilantro leaves and stems

¼ c. Italian parsley leaves and stems

1 TB fresh lime juice

salt to taste

 

In a skillet over medium high heat place tomatillos and jalapeno halves. Sear on one side, then flip over and sear on the other side. Remove from heat until charred to your desired likeness. 

Place in blender with remaining ingredients. Pulse until finely chopped and mixed to desired consistency.

Season with salt to taste. Makes approximately 1 ½ cup.
