Verde

Verde recipes are some of the oldest recipes around, dating back to ancient times. The word “verde” means “green” in Spanish, and these recipes typically feature green ingredients like spinach, parsley, and cilantro.

Verde recipes were likely first developed in the Mediterranean region, where many of the ingredients are native. These recipes likely spread to other parts of the world through trade and migration.

Today, verde recipes are enjoyed all over the world. They are often served as side dishes or appetizers, but can also be made into main courses or desserts.

Advice

salsa

When making verde salsa, start by gathering your ingredients. You'll need tomatillos, jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, onion, lime, and salt. Start by prepping your tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, onion, and cilantro. Roast your tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the tomatillos are soft and the jalapenos are lightly charred. Once they are roasted, let them cool before transferring them to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt, and blend until everything is smooth. Taste your salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Finally, serve your salsa with chips and enjoy!
