With the abundant tomatillos and poblano peppers at the end of the growing season, I made great salsa verde two ways: roasted in a hot oven and gently poached on the stovetop. I had lots of chicken meat from a roast chicken, and the last bit of cilantro from the garden, so I made a [...]

During the last weeks of October, leading up to our Halloween weekend snowstorm, we were harvesting ground cherries and tomatillos in considerable volume, a quart of tomatillos a week, or more if you could use them. Also in abundance at our CSA were ground cherries. Sometimes referred to as husk cherries, these are sweet-tart fruits [...]

While driving the other day, I listened to “A Prairie Home Companion” on NPR spoofing a marital mini-spat in which the wife was trying to get her husband to stop chuckling, so she just re-named him “Chuck.” Well I need to say that my now re-named husband “Chip” has a salsa obsession. He loves his [...]

This salsa is smokin’ good! With a deep, rich color and an immediate flavor that’s hot but not too hot, it has a kick and a smoky aftertaste from the ancho chilis. Ancho chilis are dried poblanos and are generally pretty mild. I get mine from our local health food store where they’re stored in [...]
