Spicy Salsa Verde




I made this last night, let it sit overnight. The increase in spicyness after I blended it this morning took me by surprise. The loads of lemon and garlic with the heat of the peppers makes it so you can't stop eating it, but warning- it'll make for a bit of fire in your mouth:

4 roasted tomatillos
2-3 roasted poblano chiles, depending on your personal level of masochism (I used 2 and it's a hot kick)
3 roasted cloves garlic
An entire medium lemon
Salt
Fresh ground pepper
Cumin, I did like 4 or 5 generous shakes
Like 8 cherry tomatos
Dash olive oil
2 or 3 pinches of fresh cilantro leaves can be a nice touch, but I didn't feel like it for this batch

Blend it up and you're ready to snack on fire.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
