Seared Porkchops with salsa verde and roasted broccoli

Yeah, yeah. It's been a while.

Anyway, this is all about the sauce -- uh, the "salsa". Tomatillos (look it up), onion, garlic, jalapeno.

Simmer in a pot for 10 minutes or so, to soften them up.

Throw veggies into a blender with lime juice, cilantro, salt, and some of the cooking liquid. Puree. Note: Hot food and liquid tend to explode when blended. Keep your hand on the lid, and press down.

In a roasting pan, toss broccoli with chili powder, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Roast in oven for about half an hour at 400.
