Homegrown and Homemade Salsa Verde

I'm running out of jars preserving foods from the harvest, but that's okay...I don't think anyone minds the hot sauce or syrup jar when the deliciousness inside is what matters most!!!

This is the easiest and most delicious Salsa Verde made from almost ALL homegrown ingredients! If I had that solar greenhouse, chances are the limes would be homegrown, too!

To make salsa verde (adjust for desired spice level):

1 pound of tomatillos, washed and peeled

1 medium onion, cut into quarters

3 cloves garlic, peeled

1-2 hot peppers

1 tbls. lime juice (not homegrown, but hey, its crucial for this recipe!)

1/4 cup to 1/2 cup filtered water

1 tsp. dried cumin

2 tbls. fresh cilantro

1 tbls. fresh oregano

Dash of salt

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, throw all ingredients in and heat to a rolling boil while stirring occasionally. Mash the contents of the pan and stir a bit more. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatillos are good and tender. Take off of the heat. Blend the salsa until desired consistency with a blender or food processor. Bottle or serve immediately.
