Salsa Verde (green salse)

Have you ever gone to Taco Bell and tried some of their "salsa picante muy sabrosa" and find it neither hot nor good? Or have you ever wanted to eat homemade enchiladas Mexico style?

Well, whether it be for a big dinner or just salsa for any occasion, here is how you can make salsa verde.


You will need:

A. Green tomatoes.
B. Green peppers (same quantity as tomatoes)

C. Garlic
D. Onion
E. Cilantro

Ones you have this ingredients in whatsoever quantities you want, and after you wash them, put them in the blender while they are still wet in the following order, (with as little water as your blender can hande).


1. 1/2 a garlic to 1 whole garlic .
2. 3/4 an onion cut in fourths to 1 onion
3. As many chiles verdes (cerano peppers) as you wish (6 is a good serving for two people)

Blend well and then add


4. As many green tomatoes as you put in chiles
5 A good amount of Salt
6. A fist full of Cilantro

Blind well again and deep your finger to taste it (remember that it will be less hot once you put it on food, and it will also loose heat on the second and third day)

This is the time when you can add more salt if you like, or more tomatoes if is too hot (should be mild as it is, most Gringos should be fine with a little on their quesadillas :p).

Now you can store it on a close container in the refrigerator , and add it to your meals as you please throughout the next few days. (the ingredients keep longer then the salsa)

What do you mean by "the ingredients keep longer than the salsa"?

What I mean by "the ingredients keep longer then the salsa" is that if you have a party on Saturday that you want the Salsa for but you when to the store today (Monday) you might not want to make the salsa until saturday, or make a little and keep some of the tomatillos and anions as whole veggies.

Salsa will go bad quicker then the tomatillos or the onions.

What do you mean by 1/2 a garlic-1 and 3-4 an onion cut in fourths-1 onion?

Zuch

I fixed the numbers, hope they make more since to you. And yes, that is one entire garlic, a small one at that but defiantly one whole one(not just one clove)
