This is a salsa that doesn’t rely on roasting tomatillos to increase sweetness and complexity. Nor does it use those tomatillos raw, preserving their bright (but simple) flavor and relishy texture. Here they’re cooked with moisture (I suggest you steam them in the microwave, but you could simmer them in water as many traditional cooks do in Mexico), cooled and blended with a lot of herbs and green chile into a beautifully green, luscious consistency. This salsa tastes so lively and fresh, it practically jumps from the dish.
NOTE: I suggest you make this salsa with leafy herbs that are usually used in abundance-ones like cilantro, parsley, sorrel and arugula-though parsley by itself can be rather strong.
To tell the truth, a combination of herbs always seems to taste best to me. You can use stronger herbs like basil, dill, sage and mint, though I’d either use less than what’s called for in the recipe or combine them with one or more of the herbs I listed first.
Herbs that are typically used in small quantities, like thyme, tarragon, oregano and marjoram, may taste out of place here, unless, of course, just a little bit is blended with other, leafier herbs.
