three salsas

On Friday night, Mr. M invited over some co-workers for a much needed happy hour celebration at the end of the week. The menu for munchies was quite simple, and I decided to make 3 salsas for the occasion, all with a little bit of a twist on the same ingredients.

Tomatillo Salsa [variation of recipe from Gourmet Magazine]

  • 3/4 pound small fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh serrano chile without seeds, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Chop the tomatillos to fit in the food processor/blender, then puree with remaining ingredients. Add salt (1/2-1 tsp) to taste and blend.

Mango Salsa

  • 5-6 medium roma tomatoes, chopped for processing
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1 medium chopped fresh jalepano chile without seeds, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 ripe mango, chopped for processing
  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped for processing

Put all ingredients in a food processor/blender, and chop until most tomatoes are mixed in.
