(C)SAlsa

Aside from clever titles for blog posts, one of the best things in life is fresh salsa, and the tomatillo in our final box just screamed salsa making time. It was actually a little unnerving.

Anyway, in addition to the tomatillo, the final box contained some garlic, a fantastic looking red onion and a nice little jalapeno. I supplemented that with some little sweet peppers, a couple poblano, and some other random peppers that I grabbed from our coop, the lovely Eastside. We had some cilantro hanging out in the crisper from the previous box, so that would find it's way in the salsa as well.

Tomatillo salsa

10 Tomatillo (or whatever you have)
Half an onion
5 cloves garlic
1 T olive oil
Salt to taste
2 T Tequila
2 poblano
2 jalapeno
1 very hot pepper
4-6 random other peppers
5 springs cilantro
1 T lemon juice

I began by broiling the tomatillo and all the peppers except the jalapeno and the other little spicy one, whose name I forgot (sorry). After the skin began to show back spots, about 10 minutes in our too cold oven, I removed them and set aside. I then grabbed five cloves of garlic and chopped those in the food processor. I then put the broiled tomatillo and peppers, onion, cilantro, fresh peppers and oil and processed until I liked the consistency. I then added the salt, tequila and some lemon juice (usually would add lime, but I used what I had on hand).
