			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-817" title="tomatillo" src="http://joyofcountryliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tomatillo.jpg" alt="tomatillo" width="202" height="165" />Most of my weekend &#8211; couldn&#8217;t get it out of my mind -was spent  thinking about the &#8216;good&#8217; green sauce Ninfa&#8217;s served many years ago.  So&#8230; being a big recipe clipper when we lived in Houston &#8211; I just knew that recipe was buried somewhere amongst all my other recipes &#8211; the ones that got shuffled out to the red barn when I cleaned out the pantry a few months back.  After searching a couple of  boxes (big ones) and thumbing through a couple of 3-ring binders &#8211; Eureka!!  I found it.   In fact, I must have really loved that green sauce &#8211; I found 3 separate copies while on the hunt.  All cut from The Houston Chronicle.  When we lived in Houston every Thursday, Ann Criswell would print recipes &#8211; some were readers favorites, others by request but my all time favorites were  those elusive restaurant recipes.   You know the good stuff you love to eat but is kept a big secret.  I&#8217;ve got lots of those clipped and will be posting them off and on.  But for now the recipe for green sauce  follows for those that want a taste of the &#8216;old&#8217; Ninfa&#8217;s.</p>
<p>You will need: 3 medium sized green tomatoes (coarsely chopped); 4 tomatillos (with husks); 1-2 jalapenos (stemmed and coarsely chopped); 3 small garlic cloves; 3 medium sized ripe avocados; 4 springs cilantro; 1 teaspoon salt; and 1-1/2 cups sour cream.  </p>
<p>Combine the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos and garlic in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft.  Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.</p>
<p>Peel, pit and slice avocados, set aside.  Place tomato mixture, avocados, cilantro and salt in a food processor.  (May need to do this in batches depending on the size of your processor.)  Process until smooth.  Pour mixture into a large bowl.  Stir in sour cream, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Serve with chips.  Keep any leftovers refrigerated.    This recipe should make 4-5 cups.</p>
<p>Side note &#8211; handle the jalapenos carefully &#8211; they can really irritate skin and eyes.   And if you want to cut down on the heat a little &#8211; discard the seeds along with the stems.</p>
