Week Eighteen: Salsa Verde
Salsa Verde with Green Tomatoes
Preheat oven to a pretty high heat, around 200°C.
On a tray, place:
• Unripened green tomatoes
• 2–3 big green chillies
• 3 garlic cloves
• Half an onion
• A sprinkle of salt
Roast until soft, any charring is extra flavour.
Once cooked, remove the garlic skins and chilli tops, then add everything to a blender with:
• A large bunch of fresh coriander
• Juice of 1 fresh lime
• 3–4 tablespoons honey
• Vegetable stock (I used 1/2 tsp powdered bouillon)
When blending, start by adding just 1 roasted chilli. Taste, then add the others one at a time until you reach your perfect level of heat.
Blend until smooth. Taste and balance, add more salt, honey, or spice if needed.
Pour into a bottle, keep in the fridge, and use as a great condiment.
