green tomato salsa

<p>Wondering what to do with green tomatoes? Make green tomato salsa, of course! They blend into a zesty dip that tastes just like salsa verde.</p>

Green Tomato Salsa

green tomatoes (about 5 small)

jalapeño pepper (without seeds)

garlic

white onion

cilantro leaves

salt

lime juice

Peel the garlic. Peel and quarter the onion. Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño (save the seeds for a hot salsa). If tomatoes are large, quarter them; otherwise leave them whole. (Ours were small so we left them whole.)

Place the green tomatoes, garlic, onion, and jalapeño on a baking sheet. Broil on high for 4 to 5 minutes until just beginning to blacken. Flip and rotate the veggies and broil another 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer everything to a food processor or blender, except use only 1/2 of the jalapeño. Add the cilantro, kosher salt, and lime juice. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. Taste, and if you&#8217;d like it hotter add the other 1/2 of the jalapeño and/or some seeds. You may want to refrigerate until serving since the salsa will be warm from the roasting; or leave it at room temperature until serving.

Easy, flavorful green tomato salsa verde made with piquant onion, cilantro, and chili, and lightly charred fresh green tomatoes.

Green Tomato Salsa Verde

lb green tomatoes ((green = unripe))

onion

serrano peppers

salt (or

cilantro

lime juice (or

Halve the green tomatoes and slice out the interior section around the stem (see the instructional image in my post), then cut in half again to make quarters. Lay out the tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Turn on the broiler in your oven and set the baking sheet on a top rack a few inches from the flames. Broil for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. (If your oven does not have a broiler, use the hottest temperature your oven can reach and roast for 10 minutes or until lightly browned).

Meanwhile, add the diced onions to a bowl and fill with cold water to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the broiled green tomatoes to your food processor and pulse a few times to break them into pieces. Drain the water from the onion and add it along with the peppers, salt, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse a few more times, until the desired texture is reached. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and lime juice if desired. The green tomato salsa can be served immediately, but it&#x27;s even better after an hour or more in the fridge for the flavors to meld.

Roasted Salsa Verde Recipe with Tomatillos or Green Tomatoes To Can or Freeze

tomatillos

peppers:

onions

garlic, (chopped)

lime juice ((or lemon juice))

cumin,

black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place tomatillos and/or green tomatoes in a large roasting pan. Add chilies, onion, garlic and mix.

Roast vegetables for 30-35 minutes, stirring at the halfway mark, until the tomatillos/tomatoes are starting to break down.

Scrape the roasted vegetables into a large stockpot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes. While simmering, prepare water bath canner, lids and 4 pint or 8 half-pint jars if planning to can (or wash freezer-safe jars or containers for freezing).

Blend the salsa further, if desired, with an immersion blender. Ladle into prepared jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace for canning (to freeze you&#39;ll need a good 1+ inch headspace for freezing to account for expansion).

To Can: Wipe rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes, turn off burner, remove lid and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove jars to a cloth-lined surface and let cool 12-24 hours before testing the seals, labeling, and storing for up to 18 months.

To Freeze: Let salsa cool and then transfer to clean freezer containers. Label and freeze for a year for best flavor.

I ended up with 18 pints and it turned out delicious.  Thank You for the recipe...

I made this as written, and I would caution folks to add the cumin in stages...I dumped in the whole 4 tablespoons and the salsa tasted just a bit bitter. I canned it anyway, and maybe it will mellow out by the time I take it out to use. Next time I may leave out the cumin and add some before serving. I do have a LOT of green tomatoes to use up still this fall!

We made this salsa using 2/3 green tomatoes from our garden and 1/3 tomatillos.  It was excellent!  Great flavor and nice and thick. I cut the cumin in half though, and I still would reduce that slightly when we make it again next year.  My husband said it is the best green salsa he's ever tasted.
