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.
Ingredients
- 10 freshs jalapeno peppers
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 white onion , quartered
- 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro , or more to taste
- 2 cloves garlic , smashed
- 1 lime , juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
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.

Bacon-Wrapped New Potatoes
I was given some tiny fresh new potatoes from a friend's garden. I was grilling chicken and wanted an appetizer to throw on the grill. The bacon-wrapped new potato was born. Serve with ranch dressing or BBQ sauce for dipping.
Gorton (French-Canadian Pork Spread)
Gorton is a French-Canadian pork spread for toast and crackers. This was my mémère's (grandmother's) recipe, and so far I have never had any better. It's similar to French pâté and very simple to make. I guess from what I read, cretons and gorton are almost the same, gorton being the New Englander translation. Enjoy!
