This is a salsa verde that has its roots in Southwestern food traditions. One of the key ingredients is the tomatillo, also known as a "mexican tomato". Actually, a tomatillo is not a tomato at all! It's a small, round green fruit which is frequently used in Latin American cuisine, especially their green sauces. For today's recipe, we'll be using canned tomatillos; they're usually available in the Spanish section of your local market or at specialty food stores. Along with the tomatillos, I've added roast pecans and a little brown sugar to this recipe in order to add a little more contrast to the different levels of flavor. This salsa makes a great appetizer when served with some flour tortilla chips. Also, I've found that this sauce compliments grilled fish quite nicely.READ MORE...
