Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Anaheim chiles
- 6 medium Tomatillos
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small White onion
- 1 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Place the Anaheim chiles, tomatillos, and jalapeño on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the skins of the chiles and tomatillos develop charred spots, then flip them over and roast for another 4-5 minutes.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the stems and seeds from the Anaheim chiles and jalapeño, if desired, for a milder salsa.
Peel the husks off of the tomatillos. Rinse the tomatillos and pat them dry.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted Anaheim chiles, tomatillos, jalapeño, garlic cloves, onion, cilantro leaves, lime juice, salt, and water.
Blend the ingredients together until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. You can blend it to a smooth puree or leave it slightly chunky for more texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa verde to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
