Keylime Cilantro Green Chili

I completely made this up, so make it your own and add more or less of whatever you like. Try grilling the peppers for a more smokey flavor. Triple the recipe and freeze portions. This will keep in the fridge for several days.

.5 red onion
2 cloves garlic diced
6 Anaheim (if I had fresh Hatch chilis I would use them!) peppers, seeded, cut into inch or so strips
1 jalapeño, chopped (optional)
3-4 cups tomatillos, quartered
.5 - 1 bunch of fresh cilantro
2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup lime juice (I use a combination of key limes and regular or else the key limes make it too tart)












Sauté onions in olive oil on medium heat

Add garlic after a minute

Add tomatillos and peppers and cumin ( and jalapeño if you want it spicy!)

Put lid on sauté pan to let steam, stirring occasionally for about 7-10 minutes

Add cilantro and cook covered for another minute




Pour ingredients into food processor and blend--should chop up pretty quick

Add half the lime juice with a pinch of sea salt.

Blend and taste.

Add more lime juice to get desired taste.

Put blended mixture back in pan on low heat and continue to cook and stir to marry the flavors even more (5-40 minutes).



Great on grilled shrimp, chicken, sea bass, etc

Enjoy!
