SALSA VERDE CRUDA (RAW TOMATILLO SALSA)
About 2 cups

This intensely fresh, herbal salsa is especially good with fish, chicken, roasted vegetables, and eggs. For a richer salsa, you may roast half of the tomatillos as for Roasted Tomato–Chipotle Salsa, or the peppers and onions as for Table Salsa.

Combine in a food processor or blender and coarsely puree, leaving the mixture a little chunky:

  • 8 ounces tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 to 3 serrano or jalapeño peppers, to taste, seeded and chopped
  • (1 garlic clove)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro

Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in enough cold water to loosen the mixture to a sauce-like consistency. Season to taste with:

  • Salt

Serve immediately.
