Salsa Verde (Green Salsa)

1. 1

   This is a tomatillo.

2. 2

   I used ones with large fruit in the middle.

3. 3

   Peel the tomatillos and wash them well.

4. 4

   Quarter half of the onion and finely chop another quarter.

5. 5

   Mince the cilantro and finely chop the scallions.

6. 6

   The peppers on the left are Serrano chili peppers.

7. 7

   They're much longer and thinner than the jalapeno on the right and have a milder flavour.

8. 8

   Slice the Serrano chili peppers in half vertically and use a spoon or knife to get rid of the seeds.

9. 9

   Boil some water with a pinch of salt in a saucepan and add the onion (the quartered half), tomatillos, and cilantro in that order.

10. 10

    When the water comes to a boil once again, stop the heat and drain the vegetables.

11. 11

    Add the vegetables to a food processor and blend them until smooth.

12. 12

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the finely chopped onion, scallions, cilantro, and salt.

13. 13

    Chill the salsa in the refrigerator and serve with chips.
