This Is A VERY Simple Recipe

Step 1: Take the husks off the tomatillos (or employ your children :) )

Step 2: Get a pot of water boiling...

Once it reaches a boil put in the tomatillos, turn down to simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Cut up your other ingredients while you wait...

I'm using hot peppers and tomatoes from our garden. Unfortunately the onions and garlic I grew this year are already long gone, so onions and garlic from the store boooo! Hahahaa!

Step 4: Throw it all in the food processor with some salt and pulse until you reach desired texture...

VOILA!

Now obviously you could add a lot more ingredients to this, some people love cilantro, cumin, black pepper. I just worked with what I had in the kitchen. There's no fancy photo of us enjoying this salsa with some chips because we don't have any tortilla chips right now either hahaha! You'll have to use your imagination.

Here is the recipe I used as a guideline:

The garden in amazing results,

Thank you my friend!

I'm growing some cherry tomatoes again this year. They've just started flowering.

Wow....where do you live if you don't mind me asking~??

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. It's spring here!

Ahhh wonderful!! Happy Spring :) xoxoxo

Nice recipe, how about a taste?

You bring the tortillas and we'll try it together! :)

He.. He... Thank you

Yummy! Super healthy and all home grown. Awesome babe. 😉

Thank you Ser!

It's fantastically delicious!!!!

Yeah, nachos supreme tonight? With shredded homestead chicken?

I have to tell you... I saw your tomatillo harvest post earlier this week and it inspired me to add a plant or two to my garden for next year.

Yes, you are truly an inspiration to me!

That's wicked awesome @goldendawne! You will love the beauty of the tomatillo plant!

One of my personal favorites!

With a name like @papa-pepper, I could see that! :) :) :)

Looks super tasty. We had a fair crop of tomatoes this year - but not brilliant - hopefully more next year with the polytunnel.

Still got a few green ones turning - but they are good enough for eating raw in salads.

The polytunnel will make all the difference :) You're in a wet/windy climate right? Toms hate getting their foliage wet.

Simple is often best. Are you planning on growing a lot more onions and garlic next season?

Yes, definitely going to be growing a lot more this year. Getting garlic in the ground really soon.

How about you?

I guess you can grow them in pots, but our apartment is just too small. I have great plans though for when we get land some day.

That is a basket full of goodness. Great that you turn it all into a delicious salsa. Looks yum!

We're looking forward to trying it tonight with some nachos! :)

Looks great. I would love to try this. I like hot food.

You will love it, it's the easiest thing to make!

Your posts always make me so hungry!

That's a great compliment, thanks Winston! I always find it difficult to take photos of food. How bout you?

The wife is always taking pictures of her meals. But whenever there's food in front of me, the last thing on my mind is photography.

HAHAAA :) Good on ya Winston!

That looks like really good salsa

Love this... simple, easy, and so much flavor. Moving house in a month, can't wait to start growing veggies again ;)

That's so awesome Amy, congrats on your move, and good luck with your growing next season!! :) :) :)

Very nice recipe thanks for sharing.

I am going to have to try this....can I borrow your boys to help... LOL

Wow amazing.. i like it ...

it seems the food is not good

What does that even mean?? ^^^^

i like your food

wonderful recipe...i like your recipe

Good jop friend

what an experience that would have been simply outstanding....

An incredible journey indeed and a fascinating discovery. Perhaps you could have such a mind blowing experience for yourself. Clearly if you read the article you'll notice you will need to obtain some precious vegetables and a knife or food processor.

Super post started preparing for the winter

Upvoted !
