Salsa verde

In Mexican cuisine, salsa verde (lit. 'green sauce') is a spicy green sauce made from tomatillo and green chili peppers. It dates to the Aztec Empire, as documented by the Spanish physician Francisco Hernández, and is distinct from the various medieval European parsley-based green sauces. In the cuisines of Mexico and the Southwestern United States, it is often served with Mexican or Tex-Mex dishes such as enchiladas and chicharrón (pork rinds). The version typical of New Mexico consists mostly of green chile rather than tomatillos.
