Salsa Verde Cruda

Fresh Green Salsa

Tomatillos are small green tomatoes native to Mexico. There are several varieties & different names for them depending on the region. In Australia, you can occasionally find fresh ones in markets - usually between November to March - or you can grow your own. The easier alternative is to use canned tomatillos. This delicious salsa verde is raw version that has a strong & bitey flavour. To serve with hot dishes, such as chilaquiles & eggs, you can boil the finished salsa for 2-4 minutes for a delicious & warm addition.
