tomatillos

🥗Healthier: green tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatillos

Canned tomatillos are often less expensive and still provide a similar flavor.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: serrano peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Banana peppers are milder and more affordable.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried cilantro

Dried cilantro is a budget-friendly alternative.

Start by smashing 2 large cloves of garlic in a mocha (mortar and pestle).

Add a pinch of coarse salt to help grind the garlic.

Once the garlic is smashed, add capers and anchovy paste (or regular anchovies) and continue to grind until combined.

Add fresh Italian parsley to the mixture and grind until it reaches a coarse texture.

Do not grind to a fine paste; keep it rustic.

Once the mixture is ground, add vinegar and oil to the mixture and stir to combine.

Serve as a sauce for grilled meats.
