Salsa Verde
GREEN TOMATO AND CORIANDER SAUCE
To make about 1 cup
A 10-ounce can Mexican green tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 teaspoon drained, rinsed and finely chopped canned serrano chili
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

   In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, coriander, chili, garlic, salt and pepper, and with a large spoon, mix them gently but thoroughly together. Taste for seasoning. If the sauce is not to be served immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. It will keep for at least two days.

   Salsa verde, traditionally, is served with cooked meats, tacos and tostadas.
