Lucindas Salsa Verde Recipes

LUCINDA'S SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. When pan begins to smoke, add tomatillos, onion, jalapenos, and garlic. Blister vegetables, turning frequently, until blackened in places but still firm, 5 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables to a food processor along with cilantro, salt, and sugar and pulse until very finely chopped.
• Transfer to a small saucepan and add chicken broth. Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, and cool to room temperature.
• Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat a saucepan to medium high and add a tablespoon of oil. Carefully pour in the green sauce and cook, stirring constantly to thicken up, about 3 minutes. One by one dip the tortillas in the sauce, place in an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, fill with some chicken, and roll up. Fit each enchilada snugly next to the other in the baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the enchiladas are heated through.
• Meanwhile, toss the lettuce and radishes with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper. Layer the salad on top of the hot enchiladas and serve immediately.
