Salsa Verde Recipe
This salsa verde recipe combines tomatillos, jalapeños, onions, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice to create the perfect Mexican salsa!
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos, (husked and rinsed (about 10 med-large tomatillos))
- 3 jalapeño peppers, (stemmed (and seeded if desired))
- ½ medium white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ cup cilantro ((stems and leaves))
- 1 tablespoon lime juice ((about ½ lime))
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, (plus more as needed)
Instructions
-
To roast the salsa: Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a large baking sheet. Roast directly under the broiler for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tomatillos and peppers are charred.
-
To boil the salsa: Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and enough water to completely cover them to a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes until the tomatillos and peppers turn from a bright green to a dull and dark yellow-ish camouflage green.
-
Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a large blender and blend until smooth.
-
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
