Let's Go2Veracruz - Articles Instant Green Salsa--Mexico’s Most Popular Salsa Verde In the little Comida Corridas, the little one-room three-table restaurants, we usually sit looking inward so we can watch what happens in the kitchen area. We watched our cheese empanadas be made. They tasted great, and the green salsa was perfect. We ran out of green and asked for more. Another salsa bowl came, but it was less than half full. The older woman, the waitress’ mother, went into action. And so did we—we started watching, almost spying. She washed five tomatillos, peeled a clove of garlic, rinsed a jalapeño, rinsed some cilantro, and dropped it all in a blender. She added a little salt, and little water. And then she turned the blender on high. The noise was horrendous. It went on awhile. “Ya,” she said (It’s ready) and gave us a typical Mexico sweet and happy smile. She handed her daughter the blender. The daughter walked over to us and poured until our green salsa bowl was again full. It didn’t take five minutes! Instant green salsa is what it should be called. Salsa Verde is its correct name, and it’s a Mexico standard. From the non-commercial website www.redsalsagreensalsa.com here are a few pictures. You can see the full picture story on the site.
