  1. 1 pound tomatillos, husked and washed. Chopped
    1/2 poblano chili, chopped
    1 small onion chopped
    2 cloves garlic, smashed
    1 big handful cilantro (my hands are smaller than yours, so I guess go medium)
    1 avocado, peeled etc
    lime juice

    food processor it.

    on further thought I think I should use a spicier chili next time and go with
    less onion (I don't really care for onion). Since it's becoming impossible to
    get my Herdez Salsa Verde here, I'm going to have to make my own.

    I generally use serranos or jalapeños. White onions, I think, do
    better in this than yellow, too. If you use a food processor, whir
    everything else first before adding the avocado for one pulse. -aem

    That sounds like it would be very similar to a salsa that a Mexican
    restaurant serves that I was trying to figure out how to make. Only its
    next to impossible to find tomatillos around here.

    Too bad. Tomatillos are available in cans but their quality and taste
    don't survive the process. Not a recommended product, unfortunately.

    Interesting that you can get tomatillos and poblanos, but not what I
    thought was a common packaged sauce. This is expensive, but you can
    order it directly:

    another (and cheaper) is:

    If you are interested in online shopping, just put "Herdez Salsa Verde"
    into Google, and it will give you several sources.

    I always cook tomatillos before making salsa. And I blenderize it
    almost smooth.

    Recipe sounds good to me and I'd go with more cilantro rather than
    less. I like onion, but I'd probably eyeball it anyway... lemon, not
    lime. Lime is good for margaritas, but I don't like it in most other
    things including salsa that *I* make. I won't turn down any salsa
    made with lime if someone else makes it. LOL

    You're being a very bad boy. I think our Canadian illegals will be
    outraged by that statement.

    Where do you live? They are readily available in St. Louis, which is
    not exactly the exotic food capital.

    Herdez is really good stuff. I think I'd try Anaheims or Hatch chiles
    and a few less tomatillos next time.

    A variation would be to broil or grill the tomatillos to get a little
    char on them before buzzing them up.

    Why? Many of our *legal* Canadians don't know how to drive on icy
    streets 😉

    Definitely. A roasted salsa where tomatillos and peppers
    are smoked on a Weber (or similar) is one of the reasons
    for making it fresh.
