How To Make the tomatillo scramble (sallye)
-
Step 1Remove stiff husks from tomatillos and discard. Wash residue from tomatillos and place in food processor
-
Step 2Peel and quarter onion, add to food processor
-
Step 3Remove stems from cilantro and discard; add leaves only to food processor
-
Step 4Remove stems from chile peppers. cut in half and remove seeds and membranes. Add peppers to processor Note: If you like more "heat", leave the seeds and membranes intact.
-
Step 5Pulse food processor containing veggies until items are coarse chopped. Set aside.
-
Step 6Add butter to a heavy skillet (I use my cast iron) over medium heat. When butter begins to bubble, add veggies from food processor. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until veggies are soft. DO NOT BROWN.
-
Step 7Meanwhile, break eggs into mixing bowl, add dash of lime juice, salt and pepper and whisk until light and foamy. You can also add a tablespoon of water if desired, to "fluff" up eggs.
-
Step 8Turn heat down to medium low. Pour eggs over vegetables, and stir with wooden spoon to blend.
-
Step 9Continue to cook at medium low heat until eggs are set to suit your taste.
-
Step 10Plate immediately and sprinkle shredded cheese over each serving. You can also garnish with a sprig of cilantro and/or crumbled bacon pieces.
-
Step 11Best if served while still piping hot. PS If you want to be really decadent, you can use bacon drippings in place of the butter. LOL
