BBQ B.day party

[Melissa Burnell]

this is the salsa my mom always made (please note: all measurments
are VERY approximate)

1 can diced tomatos
1 can tomotillos (since you’re here in CA, you should be able to find
them in the mexican food isle, they’re usually near the enchilada
sauce at the stores near me)
1 can diced chilies (the green ones)
a bit of onion (whatever kind you have, i usually end up using about a
quarter, but i’ve used a whole one before)
some garlic (fresh, jarred, whatever)
1 bunch cilantro
couple of pinches of sugar

to prepare the tomotillos, open the can, remove the paper-y skin and
most of the core (sadly this creates alot of waste, but this is how
i’ve always made it). then toss everything but the sugar into the
blender/food processor. once it’s as smooth as you’d like, toss it
into a sauce pan or something, add the sugar, toss on a lid and put
over low heat for about 30 min to 2 hours (this depends on how rushed
you are).

then chill if you want, or serve fresh.
