Green Tomato Salsa Verde


Yet another really good recipe from Simply In Season (Herald Press, 2005). We've tried this one and really like it with tortilla chips....!



1 cup green tomatoes (coarsely chopped)
1/2-1 fresh jalapeno pepper or other chili pepper
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 green onions (white and green parts cut in 1-inch pieces)
1/3 cup water

Combine above ingredients in a small microwavable bowl. Cover tightly. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Let stand 1 minute. Carefully remove cover. Place cooked vegetables in blender or food processor.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt

Add and blend until smooth. Use as a salsa over beans and rice, with tortilla chips, or as a dressing on salads.
