Tomatillo Salsa Fresca image

A fresh tomatillo salsa that is very easy to make using a blender. I dislike cooked tomatillos for two reasons: they lose their lovely green color and the texture to me is unsatisfactory. The beauty of tomatillo salsa is that it's cheap to prepare and it freezes well. Adapted from 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb tomatillo (approximately 10-12 medium tomatillos)
1/3 cup white onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, lightly packed (NOT dried)
1 jalapeno pepper (for extra "kick", I use serrano and jalapeno, but any green chili pepper will do)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • First prepare the tomatillos. Remove papery husks and then rinse tomatillos under warm running water, using your fingers to remove the sticky residue. Remove stems.
  • Chops into quarters.
  • Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.
  • Blend either coarse or smooth, depending on your preference.
  • Transfer tomatillo salsa to covered container and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Good with tortilla chips, enchiladas, tacos, etc.
  • I always triple the recipe and freeze in 8 ounce containers.
