Happy Friday Ronco Fans! The weekend is only a few hours away and that means it’s time to enjoy time with your family and friends. Here are some salsas to try using in season ingredients: Tomatillo Salsa (yield: 2 ½ cups) 6 medium fresh tomatillos 3 medium tomatoes, diced ½ c minced red onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 to 3 jalapeno chilies, seeded and minced 1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro ½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp salt Remove the husks from the tomatillo and dice. Place in a medium bowl with the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, chilies, cilantro, cumin, and salt. Toss to combine. *use within 1 day Tip: Tomatillos actually aren’t related to tomatoes at all. They have a slightly sour almost citrus taste that is very refreshing. This salsa works especially well with fish dishes.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Add Serrano, red onion, vinegar and cilantro; toss together lightly. Season with salt and pepper. Let salsa rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving. Tip: Great fresh spicy topper for chicken. Okay we can’t resist…here is one more!
