Salsa! recipe request

[spinsterkitten]

I just got a new food processor and I want to play with it. I'm thinking about making salsa for myself instead of buying the store bought kind. I like mild or medium salsa. We don't like the chunks in salsa, so I thought I could make a pureed one with the processor

I'm so jealous. I'm dying to get a food processor.

I got it as a gift and I'm so excited to chop up stuff!

well, heres a ~*~family recipe~*~ for salsa.
we're mexican so we like it extremely hot

Depending on the serving you want, add more, or less. but heres the basic recipe:

-3 tomatillos (spanish green tomatoes)
-2 table spoons of warm water.
-hand full of cilantro
-5 large jalepanos (you can add less if you'd like) (green peppers would be another alternitive for a not-so-spicy salsa)
-a little pinch of salt and pepper
