Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized Tomatillos
- 2 medium-sized Jalapeño peppers
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 large White onion
- 0.5 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons (optional) Water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove the sticky residue.
In a medium-sized pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the tomatillos and jalapeños to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and their color turns a dull green.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatillos and jalapeños from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes.
Roughly chop the white onion, peel the garlic cloves, and add them to a blender or food processor.
Add the cooked tomatillos, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, and lime juice to the blender.
Blend the mixture to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). If the salsa is too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out.
Taste the salsa and season with the salt or adjust to your preference.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or jar. For the best flavor, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy!
