Leo Maya’s Chicken with Green Sauce<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n1-1\/2 lb tomatillos
\n3 cloves garlic
\n1 serrano pepper
\n2 limes
\n1 bunch cilantro leaves
\n1\/4 each red, orange and yellow bell pepper
\n1\/2 medium red onion
\nKosher salt
\nFresh ground black pepper<\/p>\n
Set eight quarts water to boil over high heat. Husk and rinse the tomatillos, setting half of\u00a0them aside. Clean the garlic cloves and cut the ends from the serrano pepper. When the water is at a rolling boil, add half the tomatillos, the garlic cloves and the serrano pepper. Boil them for two minutes, then drain them. Dump the blanched itmes into a blender, along with the cilantro leaves and the\u00a0juice and zest of the limes. Pur\u00e9e until smooth, then set aside to cool.<\/p>\n
Chop the remaining tomatillos, the bell pepper and the red onion and place them into a glass bowl. When the pur\u00e9e is cool, add it to the chopped items and mix well. Add plenty of salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Serve chilled with chips, on breakfast burritos, etc.<\/p>\n
Note: This salsa would probably be considered to be “mild”. For additional heat, add another serrano pepper or two while also adding more garlic cloves.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This stuff is currently disappearing rather rapidly.
