Green Salsa

This is the best salsa we've ever had, and has turned into a drug addiction for most who have tried it - I have acquired artwork, secrets, and more in exchange for a batch of this good stuff. Here is the recipe in its entirety for the general public's enjoyment (beware it's a little spicy):

GREEN Salsa (Salsa Verde)
Watch out! This is highly addictive!

INGREDIENTS

4 11 oz cans of tomatillos or 2 Ibs of fresh
tomatillos
5 Fresh serrano peppers(Use more to increase the
heat...Bouyah!)
1 Can of chicken broth(low sodium is preferred)
1 Cup of fresh cilantro
1 Clove of garlic
2 Tbsp of vegetable oil.


RECIPE

Cut the stems off the serrano peppers. If you are
using fresh tomatillos remove the husks. Drain and
rinse the tomatillos. Place the tomatillos and the
serrano peppers in a 3 quart saucepan with half of the
can of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
When the mixture comes to a boil, cover it, and
continue to boil for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes
remove from heat.

Place the boiled tomatillos and serrano peppers
mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the
cilantro and garlic. Blend. The salsa should be
consistent and smooth.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Poor all of the
salsa from the blender in the pan and stir constantly
for 5 minutes. Poor the rest of the chicken broth in
to the pan and bring the salsa to a boil. Reduce the
heat to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes. Make
sure to stir the salsa occasionally to prevent it from
burning.

Salsa!
