Tomatillo Salsa

Sorry I took so long to get this one up Mom!

We made this salsa when Mom and Dad came for a visit and everyone liked it. Ava loved it, but when we made it today she took one bite and spit it out. Story of my life right now! All she will eat is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese (as long as she doesn't get any onions in her bite) and sometimes spaghetti, although that ones seems to be on its way out. Anyway, back to the salsa....

Tomatillo Salsa

8 tomatillos, husks removed
1 medium tomato
1 small onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
3 Tbsp cilantro leaves
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin, heaping
1/8 tsp pepper

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add tomatillos and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 (not 15... ask Mom hehe) minutes. Drain.

Place all ingredients and drained tomatillos in blender and process until blended. Serve with tortilla chips.

  1. Oh no! She's too young to start being as picky as Avery!
    I love tomatillo salsa. I'll have to give this one a try.

  2. And even if you do read the 5 minutes boiling time as 15 minutes, well it still turns out okay! But I think I'll try the 5 minutes this time ;)
