Simple and DeLicious Salsa Appetizer

After you wash all of the ingredients, you will boil everything but the cilantro and green onion for 5-10 minutes, until soft. (don't ask me why, this is how I was taught and I can't argue with the results)

Usually the tomatoes/tomatillos are ready first (the skin will burst). Take out the tomatoes and tomatillos and throw 2 of each in the blender and blend them lightly. Save 3 tomatoes so that you can add them later to suit your needs. (for my own typical taste, I only do 2 of each, and put in more hot peppers)

When the peppers are soft, take them out carefully, and using the oveglove cut the stems off. I don't do anything special other than cut the end off. I leave most of the seeds in. Add the peppers into the blender and lightly blend.

Now we add the green onion and cilantro. I hesitate to tell you just how much of each I put in since everyone has different taste buds. Some like a lot of cilantro, others not so much. Same with the green onion. I added about 8 stalks of green onion, and a good handful of cilantro, followed by a little more cilantro. Add a little at a time til you get it how you like it. Lightly blend until all is mixed well and taste test. Remember, most of the ingredients are hot so don't burn your mouth

Lastly, add in garlic and salt to taste. I added one good spoonful of garlic and about a teaspoon of salt. Blend until it becomes the consistency you like.

tip - If you want to just make a small spicy batch for yourself, boil up your peppers and tomatillos, and add a small can of tomato sauce. Add in green onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, and enjoy. Its about enough for most of a bag of chips.
