CropSwapper Continues @ SDNHM

Once again, CropSwapper will have a swap at the San Diego Natural History Museum on October 6 from 6:30-8PM. We had such an interest in our organization, we thought we should be there again. We will be doing our swap there instead of our normal Monday swaps in Del Cerro. Please join us and enjoy the lecture "Growing a Social Movement to Change the Food System". Thank you SDNHM for your support!

1-2 fresh green serrano or jalapeno chilies, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large garlic clove chopped
1/4 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 teaspoon Oregano
1/2 cup chicken broth (or non-tomato based vegetable broth)
2-3 fresh large chilies (such as Poblano, Ancho, Anaheim or Hatch) roasted and skins removed
1/2 cup packed cilantro
1/4 cup Lime Juice

- Briefly saute onion, spices, garlic and jalapeƱo in oil. Add tomatillos and broth. Bring to a boil and cook on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until soft. Simmer to thicken sauce. Let cool and transfer to a blender.
