I always use it in tomatillo sauce. If you don't have tomatillos use regular green tomatoes! I boil the tomatos in chicken broth with stems removed. once they have cooked til soft blend in blender with garlic, green pepper, and a bit of oil if needed to blend. amazing on crackers, love to add peanuts to the mix and two corn tortillas to help thicken it up. terrific on chicken. on toritillas... you don't have to waste them use them all!
