Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 1 cup packed Fresh cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.25 medium White onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn olive green and are tender.
Drain the cooked tomatillos and allow them to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the cooked tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño (stem removed; seeds removed if you prefer less heat), garlic, white onion, lime juice, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa verde to a serving bowl or airtight container. If desired, chill in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, drizzle over tacos, or use as a marinade for meats or veggies.
