SALSA VERDE W/TOMATILLOS (SALLYE) image

So easy to prepare, so great to eat. If you aren't sure about the "heat" just use one chile without the seeds; to turn up the "heat" use two chiles with the seeds.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound(s) fresh tomatillos
1 medium onion, red or white
1 medium garlic clove
1 or 2 medium jalapeno or serrano chile
1/3 bunch(es) fresh cilantro, leaves only
1 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt
1 dash(es) ground black pepper
1 dash(es) lime juice

Steps:

  • Peel tomatillos, wash thoroughly to remove sticky residue, and place tomatillos in food processor
  • Peel and quarter onion and add to food processor
  • Peel garlic clove and add to food processor
  • Cut chiles in half, remove stems, membrane and seeds. Add chiles to food processor. NOTE: If you like "heat" leave the seeds in.
  • Remove stems from cilantro and add leaves only to food processor.
  • Pulse food processor until ingredients at at your desired coarseness. We like ours a little chunky. You may have to stop the processor and wipe the sides down to get everything diced.
  • Transfer to serving dish; add salt, pepper and lime juice; stir to blend.
  • This is better if you allow it to set in fridge covered for an hour or longer before serving. It improves with age. Will last refrigerated for at least a week. (As if around here)
