salsa verde

Ingredients:
tomatillos avocados jalapenos (most peppers will do) cilantro salt garlic onion lime

peel and wash 15-20 tomatillos
roughly chop yellow onion
mince garlic
wash and manually remove cilantro leaf from stems, set stems aside
mince 1/8-1/4 cup of cilantro stems
(the cilantro stems carry a great deal of the essence and work well to boost the flavor when minced well and added to any dish)
halve avocado, remove pit and spoon out the meat.
combine these ingredients in the food processor and blend.
you have two choices with the jalapenos, if you want your salsa HOT, just throw them into the blender with everything else, seeds, meat and all
(you may remove seeds and soft meat to cut the heat)
or, if you want less kick and a more smokey flavor, you can halve the peppers, scoop out the innards and lay them on foil on a cookie sheet and broil them close to the flame for 5 minutes.
remove them from oven when skin is charred and place in a small, sealed tupperware container and allow them to steam themselves. this will cause the charred skin to peel away from the meat of the pepper.
once steamed and skinned, add to blender.
wash your hands before picking your nose or rubbing your eyes.
blend all ingredients to desired consistency.
salt to taste.
enjoy.

salsa verde is most excellent - and the addition of avacado sounds quite nice.

i always thought the same, but you really gotta mince 'em up so if you're one of those people who lives without a sharp blade nearby... go get one damnit

usually, when I cook hot dishes, I'll mince the stems and use them while cooking and then sprinkle the leaves on fresh at the very end before serving.
most leafy herbs are best when added last, the heat kind of kills the flavor, the texture and the color that good herbs can bring to a dish.
