SALSA VERDE - Roy Choi

 There are two sauces that define L.A. and OC: salsa roja and salsa verde. It’s who we are and who we’ve become. I could eat anything with salsa verde; now so can you.



MAKES ALMOST 2 CUPS

¼ cup mirin

½ cup natural rice vinegar (not seasoned)

½ cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup roughly torn fresh cilantro

¼ cup fresh Thai basil leaves

3 garlic cloves, peeled

½ shallot, peeled

2 serrano chiles

1 jalapeño pepper

Juice and grated zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds

2 tomatillos, charred

½ cup canola oil

½ cup olive oil

½ avocado

Pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree.

DRINK.

BURP.

SMILE.
