Burgers are my friend.

I have always loved hamburgers – charred on the outside and juicy on the inside – a good burger is a thing of beauty.

We had things of beauty, tonight.

The actual burger was merely 80/20 ground beef with salt and pepper – grilled almost medium. I don’t care what the experts say – I wanna see pink in my burgers.

The real fun was everything on the plate to accompany it.

We started off with fresh spinach sauteed with onion and garlic for the base and we added a tomatillo salsa to the top. We have tomatillo plants out back that are finally starting to produce, and the hot pepper and tomato also came from out back. I see more salsas like this in our future.

Tomatillo Salsa

• 4 tomatillos, chopped
• 1 yellow tomato, chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 Caribbean pepper, minced
• 3 mini peppers, chopped
• 1 tbsp mint, minced
• garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• tequila

Mix tomatillos, tomato, onion, and peppers. Stir in mint and add garlic powder, salt, and pepper, to taste.

Drizzle with tequila and mix well.

Really quick and easy – with lots of flavor. The Caribbean pepper is hot – like a habanero – so use your discretion. Any hot pepper will work, and since we have at least 8 varieties growing right now, we’ll be switching them out.
