I started making green salsa with tomatillos last year, and it is catching up to red salsa.  While not as spicy, this stuff can be pretty delicious.  Try it out sometime.  If you have a food processor, it’s very easy.

Ingredients

• 4 cups tomatillos.  4 cups is about 10-12 medium sized tomatillos.  I like to roast them in my oven before I add them.  If you are unfamiliar with this, just put them in your oven a 500 degrees until they start to turn brown.
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
• 2 small jalapeno peppers, chopped
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup water

Directions:

Roast tomatillos.   In a blender or food processor, place tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and water.

Process until slightly chunky.

In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat remaining olive oil. Add tomatillo mixture and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and pour into serving bowl. Cover and let stand 1-2 hours to blend flavors. Serve warm or cold.

I have become a big stir fry fan the last few months, and there is one sauce I stick to:

Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki.

This stuff is really all you need, with the exception of some vegetables, to make a delicious stir fry at home.  I’ve noticed they have begun carrying it at the local grocery stores, so BUY IT.

All you need to do is cut up chicken breasts or thighs, whichever you prefer, add them to a bag with a reasonable amount of the sauce, throw in whatever veggies or peppers you like, and let it sit in your refrigerator for an hour or two.  Heat up your pan or wok, if you have one, as high as you can get it and sear the chicken until done.

Oh, and my secret ingredient…

Sriracha.

This stuff is incredible.  If you like spicy Asian food, you need some of this.  You can usually get it at any local grocery store.

I just put some rice in a bowl, pile some chicken on top, and drizzle with the Sriracha.  It’s one hell of a meal.
