PICO DE GALLO: WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Pico de Gallo translates literally to “the beak of the rooster.” The exact reason for the name is unknown,
though perhaps it’s because the red of the tomatoes is reminiscent of the bird’s beak. Pico de Gallo is also
beloved because it contains the three colors of the Mexican flag: red, white, and green.
Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
This is a relatively simple salsa, but taking the time to roast the tomatillos,
chilies, garlic, and scallions gives the salsa an extra smoky and charred
flavor that is well worth the extra time.
