    Heat a pan or skillet. Add 1 or 2 TBSP of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion, Tomatillos & green chillies. You can add garlic now or later when you add water, it's very much a personal preference. Cook or pan roast until onion is soft and Tomatillos are lightly charred or roasted. Add 1 cup of water. Bring to good boil. Turn the heat off. Leave aside to cool.

    Halve your Avocados. Remove & discard the seed. Transfer cooked ingredients into a food processor once cooled or warm. Add Avocados, cilantro (or coriander), mints, chicken bouillon or chicken seasoning powder, good pinch of black or white pepper powder and lime juice. Process everything well for a minute. See pic below. Give it a taste. At this stage, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more water if you think it's too thick for your liking. You can also adjust the taste.

    I recently came across tomatillos and I was surprised to find out that although they look just like green tomatoes, they aren't tomatoes at all!Salsa verde is a popular Mexican original, but adding a few personal touches can transform this popular sauce into a unique creation. Use as a dipping sauce along corn/flour tortilla chips for the ultimate combo.#CA2025

    Everyone’s flavor profile is a little different. Making good salsa is like painting. A little of this color and a little of that color, some blending, until it’s just right! Here are the key ingredients and directions. Quantities are up to your tastes! I make a big batch and freeze for later. Also, I like it spicy 😉🌶️

    adapted from Epicurious. This is a staple table salsa in my house. Awesome on tacos, eggs, quesadillas, gorditas, carne asada, etc. My Mexican hubby likes it more spicy, so I usually use 3 habs (2 seeded and 1 not, so it's not ungodly spicy), but use as many or as few as you like, seeded or not. Just a tip, open a window when you're broiling the habs -- the chile fumes will sneak up on you, lol! Servings based on use as a condiment.
