Recipe Name: Tomatillo Salsa with Red Tomatoes and Zucchini
Yield: 1 gallon Prep Time: 30 min
Comments: When you come across a recipe that bears repeating, one must always copy it down. Mom did, continuously. Therefore, being her middle son, I reserve the right to do so also. Here is a great salsa that is easy to make, doesn't take a lot of time and is a way to use some of those zucchini. Enjoy this and its only as spicy as you want to make it. This comes from the 19th Street Gardners.
Ingredients:
1# Tomatillos, about 6 medium
2# Tomatoes, fresh ones, red
1# Tomatoes, fresh ones, yellow
1 med Sweet red bell pepper, diced
1 Hot chili pepper (Your choice) diced fine
1½ c Zucchini, fresh and small diced
1 c Red onion, diced
2 T Olive oil
1½ t Cumin, ground
1 t Salt
Ground pepper
2 T Lemon juice, fresh squeezed
4 Garlic cloves, minced (use juice)
½ c Mexican oregano, dried
1/8 t Cayenne
Remove and discard the husks of the Tomatillas. Rinse them and dice them. Set aside in a bowl. Cut tomatoes in ½ crosswise and gently squeeze over the sink to remove the juice seed pockets. Cut out the stem end and dice the tomatoes into pieces. Add the tomatoes, sweet pepper, chili pepper, zucchini, cilantro - if used - and red onion to the bowl of Tomatillos.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and toss well. Serve immediately, but I have found that you can let the mixture set at room temperature for about 30 minutes to blend the flavors. You can also place the mixture in a quart jar and keep in the refrigerator. Have fun with it.
