Jacquie's Everyday Salsa

Recipe Ingredients

4 oz	113g	Tomatillos
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Tomatoes
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Onion - chopped
1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	Green onions - chopped
1 tablespoon	15ml	Garlic - minced
1/2 cup	118ml	Canned green chiles
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Jalapeno chiles - some seeds removed
2 teaspoons	10ml	Ground red chile
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 cup	8g / 0.3oz	Minced cilantro
3 tablespoons	45ml	White wine vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Soak tomatillos in warm water and remove dry husks. Dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30 sec. or hold over a gas flame and char. Remove skins and squeeze out seeds. (I ignored this and just opened a large can of stewed tomatoes.)

ROUGHLY puree everything. Simmer in an open 2 quart saucepan for 5 minutes to blend flavors and help preserve the salsa. Salsa keeps well. If you want salsa even hotter, just add more jalapenos or keep more seeds. (I didn't have jalapenos, so just added some cayenne and some Tabasco to taste. I also found that about a tablespoon of lime juice was nice.)

Obviously not a gourmet recipe. But it turned out very nice, and solves the problem of what to do with the other 90% of the cilantro I buy every week or two.
