I wanted a verde style salsa, but living in Germany, I was not able to find tomatillos. This green salsa is great on eggs, used as a marinade, or just eaten with tortilla chips. Its heat is somewhere in the middle between mild and hot. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

- 2 tomatoes

Instructions

1
Place jalapenos in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until jalapenos soften and begin to lose their shine, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the jalapenos with a slotted spoon, chop off the stem, and place them in a blender. Add the tomatoes and boil for 2 to 3 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel the skin from the tomatoes and add tomatoes to the blender.

Mango Pico de Gallo
This mango pico de gallo is a colorful, lively fruit salsa that enhances grilled or seared fish, chicken, or shrimp. In Spanish, "pico de gallo" means "beak of the rooster", and it is indeed spicy. For extra heat, use more jalapeños, or substitute serrano peppers, if you dare.
Summer Tomato-Peach Chutney
This gorgeous, orange-hued chutney is ideal with grilled meats or inside grilled cheese sandwiches. If you can, use meatier tomatoes like Romas or little Juliets. Heirloom slicers will taste good, but they bring a lot of water to the equation that will have to be cooked out.
