Chihuahua Green Salsa: A Fresh and Flavorful Twist

Ingredients

• 12 freshly husked and chopped tomatillos
• 1 can of chopped jalapenos (7 ounces), well-drained
• A generous half-head of lettuce, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• A third cup of fragrant dried cilantro
• 3 tablespoons of aromatic ground cumin
• Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your liking
• 2 tablespoons of rich butter
• A quarter of a chopped onion
• A quarter cup of flavorful chicken broth

Step 1

Blend together the vibrant tomatillos, spicy jalapenos, fresh lettuce, aromatic garlic, fragrant cilantro, warm cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor until they form a harmonious green medley.

Step 2

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until they turn translucent and release their sweet aroma, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Next, add the blended tomatillo mixture and pour in the flavorful chicken broth. Let this simmer gently, stirring every so often, until the salsa gradually thickens and the flavors meld beautifully, which typically takes about 20 minutes of patient cooking.
