   4      ounces        tomatillos
   2      pounds        tomatoes
   1      cup           onion -- chopped
     1/2  cup           green onions -- chopped
   1      tablespoon    garlic -- minced
     1/2  cup           canned green chiles
     1/2  cup           jalapeno chiles -- some seeds removed
   2      teaspoons     ground red chile
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/2  cup           minced cilantro
   3      tablespoons   white wine vinegar
 

Preparation:

Soak tomatillos in warm water and remove dry husks. Dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30 sec. or hold over a gas flame and char. Remove skins and squeeze out seeds. (I ignored this and just opened a large can of stewed tomatoes.) ROUGHLY puree everything. Simmer in an open 2 quart saucepan for 5 minutes to blend flavors and help preserve the salsa. Salsa keeps well. If you want salsa even hotter, just add more jalapenos or keep more seeds. (I didn't have jalapenos, so just added some cayenne and some Tabasco to taste. I also found that about a tablespoon of lime juice was nice.) Obviously not a gourmet recipe. But it turned out very nice, and solves the problem of what to do with the other 90% of the cilantro I buy every week or two. Source: Healthy Fiesta by Jacqueline Higuera McMaha
