SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Remove and discard the papery husks from the tomatillos; cut each in half and remove the hard parts surrounding the stem. Trim away and discard roots and tough stems from cilantro. Place tomatillos and cilantro in a blender along with lettuce, serrano peppers, and garlic clove. Slice the avocado open vertically, and twist the halves apart. Carefully whack a knife into the pit, twist to loosen, and remove the pit. Gently run a spoon between the flesh and the skin of the avocado until the flesh comes out in one piece. Repeat with the other half. Into the blender, add avocado halves, juice from the lime, and shallot.
• Blend to a chunky purée, 30 seconds, adding ½ teaspoon salt halfway through with the motor running. Taste and add remaining salt (or more) as needed. Makes about 2 cups Salsa Verde. (Store in airtight container for up to two days in the refrigerator.)

SALSA VERDE (GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Chop the herbs and garlic, mixing with 1 tsp sea salt, until very fine.
• Add the mustard and capers, and combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the olive oil.
• Add the vinegar, little by little, stirring and tasting as you go - trust your palate!

DELICIOSA SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Place tomatillos cut side down on a baking sheet.
• Broil in preheated oven until slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer tomatillos to a food processor with cilantro, onion, jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper, lime juice, and sugar; pulse until well mixed.

FRESH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, green onions, jalapenos and salt in the blender or food processor container.
• Pulse until onions are processed, about 10 to 15 seconds.
• Pulse a few more times in needed, but be careful and not over process.
• Pour mixture into an airtight container, and chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
• Before serving, add the cubed avocado.
• The cook time reflects the chilling time.

CHUNKY SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Combine tomatillos, water, 1/4 cup diced onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and oregano in a deep-sided saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, turning tomatillos, until all sides are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, adding more water if needed. When tomatillos are done, there should only be about 1/3 cup water left.
• Remove from the heat and pour mixture into a blender. Add salt and blend until smooth. Add cilantro and blend until well mixed. Add remaining full diced onion and pulse to combine; you want the onion to be chunky.
• Pour salsa into a serving dish. Let cool before serving, about 10 minutes.
