This is a raw salsa. Yes a raw Purple salsa. Mexico meets Japan in this recipe. Shiso (also known as perilla), is a member of the mint family with broad jagged edged leaves. A touch of red wine can be used if you can't get the red shisho which adds a cool color to the salsa.
Ingredients:
8 ounces purple tomatillos, husked
1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 -2 serrano chili
1/2 cup loosely packed roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 cup red shiso, rough chopped
sea salt
Directions:
1. Thoroughly wash the bitter film off the tomatillos with warm almost hot water then quarter each of them.
2. Place all in a food processor and pulse till semi chunky.
3. Enjoy!
