Pineapple Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde is simply green salsa made from tomatillos.  They look like green tomatoes wrapped in paper but are a bit tart but totally delicious.  Here is a quick salsa that incorporates fresh pineapple and veggies from the garden!

Ingredients:

• 7 - 8 tomatillos
• 1 cup chopped pineapple
• 1/2 pepper, chopped (any color)
• 1 small red onion
• 1 clove garlic, smashed
• 1 jalapeno (jarred or fresh), chopped
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• handful of fresh cilantro
• 2 tbl extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Peel, wash and quarter tomatillos.  Place in a food processor with everything except lime juice, olive oil and salt & pepper.  Pulse until chunky or until it has almost reached desired consistency.  Pour in lime juice and drizzle in olive oil and pulse.  Finally add in the salt & pepper and do a quick pulse.  Place in a covered bowl and store in the fridge for a few hours just to let the flavors marinate.  Serve with chips or over grilled chicken or seafood!
