Recipe: Green Salsa with Tomatillos

My friend Jill brought this to our Firetruck Santa Christmas get-together and it was soooooooo tasty! It is not too spicy for the kids (Axel loved it!) but it is very flavorful.

8 tomatillos, husked (or canned, whole tomatillos)
3 shallots
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
¼ cup chopped, fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
salt to taste

In a food processor, place tomatillos, shallots, garlic, green chilies, cilantro, jalapeno, and salt. Using the pulse setting, coarsely chop. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving. Yields 16 servings. Good with tortilla chips, fish, tacos and burritos.
