This is just one of over 9,000 recipes we've collected since early 1996. Many of these recipes have been passed down from family member to family member and then shared with friends and then, with Mike Pitzer's Salsa Recipes. When it comes to recipes, the real secret is that all of our recipes always have been, and always will be free!

Ingredients:

1/2 ripe papaya, seeded and chopped
3 tomatillos, papery skin removed
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeds and membrane removed (if desired), chopped fine
1 scallion, chopped fine
1 plum tomato, chopped (optional)
Freshly grated black pepper
1/4 dried ancho chili, ground (optional)

Notes:

Well, this recipe might not be earth shattering to some, but this was my first time using tomatillos as an ingredient, and I think it came out great. It makes a small amount, as I used it to go on top of veggie burgers for dinner and didn't want any leftover.

Preparation:

Cut the tomatillos in half. Place in a cast iron skillet and Roast until they just begin to blister and give off some juice. While they're roasting, prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Remove the tomatillos and cool enough to chop. Chop them and put them in with the remaining ingredients and stir. Adjust seasonings. Chill if desired. Or serve at room temperature. Servings:
