Description

Green tomatillo salsa is really easy to make with the addition of green tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic powder! This is great, green salsa that everyone asks me to make. I have made it several times and just recently had the best batch ever!

Ingredients

2 pounds tomatillos, husked and cut in half
3 green tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
2 mild chile peppers, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup garlic powder to taste
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Place the tomatillos, tomatoes, oil, chili pepper, shallots, cilantro, vinegar, garlic powder, and salt in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the tomatillos have softened. Pour into a blender, and puree until smooth. Chill and serve.
