Ninfa's Green Sauce

If you live in Houston, Texas then you know that every Mexican restaurant not only serves you red salsa, but also a type of "green sauce".  If you're not from here, then you probably have no clue what we're talking about (but it's still good!).  Well, it didn't take long for me to love the green sauce and want to make it in my own home. 

Dave and I wanted to make our own cookbook a while back and started taking pictures. So even though these pictures aren't current for us or as detailed as I'd like them to be, they still work!

As I've had it told to me, Ninfa's is the original place to get green sauce.  If you're ever in Houston, check out Ninfa's on Navigation.  It's the original one, I swear our food was delivered to us there before we had put our drink order in.  I still have no idea how they got it out so fast.

Chop 3 medium sized green tomatoes.  Chop 4 tomatillos. Remove the "wrapper" and finely chop them.

Leave seeds in and stem and chop 2-3 jalapenos. Mince 4 garlic cloves.

Add all of these chopped veggies to a pan.

Bring to a boil (tomatoes provide the liquid), reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.

Place tomato mixture in food processor, add avocado and blend until smooth.
Add cilantro and salt to taste.  Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream.

Serve with chips or put on tacos, fajitas, anything you can find!

Yummy!! Oh, and we're so cheesy, that the bowl that the chips are in... we painted.. in Mexico when we got engaged.  Cheesy, yet so fun.

Enjoy!
