Salsa Verde image

This is how I usually make my salsa verde. You might try charring the tomatillos on a comal or dry frying pan instead of boiling them in the water for a roasted flavor. As written, it is a fairly mild salsa, so I recommend adjusting heat to taste. Recipe is from Vegetarian Planet.

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 quarts water
1 lb tomatillo, husked
3 large garlic cloves
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2-1 jalapenos or 1/2-1 serrano pepper, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Add the tomatillos, and boil them for 3 minutes.
  • Drain the tomatillos, and put them into a blender or food processor.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the tomatillos.
  • Blend for only a few seconds, leaving the salsa a bit chunky (small pieces of onion and tomatillo would be evident).
  • Store the salsa in a sealed container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
  • It will keep for 4 days.
