Tomatillo Salsa By Carol Ritchie   Serves 6 This summer, I have been enjoying the Dallas Summer Musicals. The new musical "Some Like It Hot" starring Tony Curtis inspired me to present this recipe. Let's turn up the heat in Texas with this spicy recipe. After all, some like it hot! 1 pound fresh tomatillos 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 - 2 canned jalapeno peppers, chopped 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced 2 - 3 sprigs fresh cilantro 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced  Peel papery husks from tomatillos and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Place in medium saucepan and fill with cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain away water, reserving about 1/4 cup liquid (if a thin salsa is desired). Allow tomatillos (and reserved water) to cool completely, about 30 minutes at room temperature. Combine all ingredients, except avocado, in a blender. Process for a few seconds, until mixture is slightly chunky. Add avocado and process until desired consistency is reached. Serve with tortilla chips or use as a condiment for your favorite Tex-Mex recipes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Notes: Tomatillos are prized for their outstanding flavor and color. These petite Mexican green tomatoes have a tight-fitting papery husk, which is removed before cooking or eating. Tomatillos have a tart, lemon-apple taste, and can be enjoyed raw, or cooked for a more mellow flavor. Read Carol Ritchie's other Archived articles! Click here.
