SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Combine the garlic with the basil and parsley leaves, the bread slices, and the vinegar in the bowl of a food processor. Puree the herb/bread mixture for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula every 10 or 15 seconds. Add the mustard, capers and cornichons and chop for about a minute more, until the mixture is granular but smooth. Put the mixture in a bowl, work in the olive oil with a wooden spoon, and stir in the salt and pepper to taste.

CHARRED TOMATILLO MARGARITA SALSA

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, poblanos and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler and cook until well charred, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the poblanos.
• Add the charred vegetables to a food processor along with the tequila, chili powder, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky. Remove to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve with tortilla chips.
