Blanca made two types of Green Salsa to serve with her Homemade Tortillas. One of the Green Salsa is plain while the other Green Salsa has avocado added to it. The avocado adds creaminess to the Green Salsa. If you like this recipe, you should also check Blanca’s recipe on Red Salsa too.
The green salsa can be made with both red and green tomatoes or only with green tomatoes.
Green tomato is also called tomatillo. It is also known as husk tomato, husk cherry, Mexican tomato, jamberry or ground cherry. Tomatillo in Mexico means ‘little tomato’. The tomatillo fruit is surrounded by a paper-like husk, hence the name husk tomato. Tomatillos are the key ingredient in fresh and cooked LatinAmerican green sauces.

I like green tomato sauces usually I grill the tomatos and chile, just taking out the black skin and the chile seeds, this gives the chile flavor but not the hot. Try to add a little garlic clove to the blender, that is so good too. If you use the green salsa to add a dish like pork ribs or chops add a little dash of sugar. helps to brake the acidity of the sauce.
great stuff…never made it myself so maybe I will try out your recipe! love this stuff

Why doesn’t it say how many items of each?
I’m sorry, the demonstrator did not have a specific recipe with quantity. I should have counted the items during the demonstration.
