Author Message   Greg  My Weather My Garden Posted on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 01:55 am EST :    Usually I make my salsas without measuring anything - to taste - and it never turns out bad. For tomatillo salsa - or green salsa - you can use raw or cooked tomatillos. I have done both and they are both good. Generally I think cooked tomatillos are used (for example - canned tomatillos). If you have fresh fruit, you can simmer them gently for 5-10 minutes and then let them cool. Basic ingredients for salsa: Base (10-12 tomatillos, 3-4 medium tomatoes, 3 mangos, etc) 1-2 cloves fresh garlic 1 Green Pepper ( I often leave this out) 1/4-1/2 medium onion (I like red onion) Green Chilis (jalapeno or serrano) - as many as you like - I use 3-4 depending on heat and size juice of 1 lime Good handful of fresh cilantro For tomatillo salsa, I blend this well in a food processor. For tomato and mango, I leave it a little more chunky and will chop the garlic and chilis finely in the food processor, then pulse the onions and green pepper a bit, then add the mango and cilantro and just pulse the processor a little bit to the desired consistency. Enjoy Summer! You're gardenbuddy, Greg, NDZ4   Periwinkle  My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 04:44 am EST :    Thanks a lot Greg.
