I wanted to preserve my Smoky, Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Verde Aka Green Hell! and came up with this. Adding the lemon, lime juice and vinegar for acidity to preserve the salsa. Green tomatoes can be used in place or along with the tomatillos. After opening the canned salsa you can drain some of the liquid so not to watery. Do NOT thicken with flour or cornstarch. FYI- don't like heat replace the hot chili's with bell pepper that you roasted. Ingredients:
3 lbs tomatillos, cut into quarters |
2 habanero peppers, seeds and all |
2 onions, diced |
3 garlic cloves |
2 -4 chipotle chiles in adobo |
1 cup fresh cilantro (i used all three) or 1 cup fresh parsley (i used all three) or 1 cup fresh basil (i used all three) |
1/2 cup bottled lemon juice |
1 -2 teaspoon cumin (optional) |
1/2 cup vinegar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 lime, very fine shredded zest and juice |
