Rojoverde salsa

Love to try out new recipes and this is one I saw on TV the other day with a light variation on it. Since it's red and green salsa mixed I just named it rojoverde. Involves a blender, a covered pan and a rather short list of ingredients

5 medium size tomatillos
5 sprigs of cilantro
2 cloves of garlic
1 lime
1 jalapeño pepper
1 can Rotell tomatoes
1/2 large white onion
1/4 cup of water.
1tbsp olive oil

Place pan on medium high heat and drizzle in olive oil. Peel the tomatillos and wash them with warm water to remove sticky outer coating of them. Add them whole to pan and add quartered onion, both cloves of unpeeled garlic, and whole jalapeño pepper. Cover and simmer on medium high heat for seven minutes. Remove lid and add tomatoes, mix in, and replace cover for another 4-5 minutes. Turn heat off and transfer everything to blender.  Remember to remove the garlic peels. Add juice of 1 lime, cilantro, 1/4 cup water, and about a tbsp of salt for seasoning. Pulse in blender for about 10 seconds. Remove blender cover and add salt to taste.
Your product should be green and red, have little bit of heat and a very fresh roasted taste. Place it on chips, nachos, tacos, burritos, burgers, and anything you like.  It's easy, mildly quick, and wonderfully tasty.
