Time 10m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 dozen medium tomatillos
4 -6 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno pepper
1/4 small onion
salt
pepper
1 lime, juice of
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Peel clean and quarter tomatillos. When buying tomatillos it is a good idea to check to make sure they are all good.
  • Peel garlic and cut jalapeno discarding seeds (add some of the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot).
  • Place tomatillos, garlic, onion and jalapeno in your food processor. With chopping blade pulse several times until consistency is fine and consistent.
  • Pour mixture into a sieve and drain off the liquid.
  • In a bowl combine tomatillo mixture with 1/2 to 1tsp salt, about 1/2 tsp black pepper, cilantro and the lime juice. I add as much of the lime pulp as I can because it tastes so great in the salsa.
  • Taste can be adjusted by adding more lime, garlic or jalapeno. If your tomatillos are especially sour you may add a little sugar.
