Green Sauce

Game Time!

This is a wonderful, well actually great dip that you should try for one of your Super Bowl appetizers.


When you visit various restaurants for Mexican cuisine, more than likely, you will be served a green or red salsa with chips. This is my version of the green sauce. It yields about 5 cups in the event that you want to cut the recipe in half.

Ingredients:

• 8 tomatillos
• 4 large green tomatoes
• 3 large avocados
• 1 onion, cubed
• 2 jalapenos
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
• 1 lime, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut jalapenos in half and remove seeds and stems
2. Remove husk from tomatillos, and rinse
3. Cut onion into quarters
4. Add tomatillos, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a large saucepan
5. Add enough water to cover
6. Blanch and remove from heat
7. Remove skin and core from tomatoes and core from tomatillos. (use a bowl so that you can preserve the juices)
8. Add tomatillos, tomatoes, onion, garlic, reserved juices, jalapenos, and juice from the lime to a blender
9. Blend a couple of minutes until smooth; add the remaining ingredients
10. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste
11. Refrigerate until ready to serve
12. Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables

Twist: Roasted cumin and lime juice
