red green salsa

red green salsa.

So my brother is going to be up this weekend and he loves RED GREEN (the tv show). Coincidentally the fruit market near us is still selling red cubanelle on sale and many of our tomatillos were ripe. We didn't have enough to can so I'm making RED Green salsa in his honor. I'm not sure he'll eat it though. It looks like it came outta a swamp. MMm tasty swamp salsa.
Throw this in a pot with 2 cups of water on med high heat.
chop 1/2 a red onion and 2 large handfuls cilantro (about half a bunch)
1-2 cubanelle or other red sweet pepper (1/2 cup or so)
2 green onions chopped
1 1/2 lb of tomatillos peeled washed and quartered...or halved if they are tiny like some of ours.
juice of one lime
salt to taste
1 serrano diced (use the seeds if you want heat or leave them out if you want medium or don't use if you can't handle heat
1 tb ground cumin
1 squirt sri racha if you like
1 tb cider vinegar or more lime juice

Now stir.
Allow to boil 10 minutes or so. mash or use a food mill or blender. Cool and put it in a jar in the fridge.
