Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1 large Jalapeño peppers
- 0.5 medium White onion, chopped
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the husked and rinsed tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the tomatillos are softened and their color has faded to a dull green.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked tomatillos to a blender or food processor.
Add the jalapeño, chopped onion, garlic cloves, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Blend briefly for a chunky salsa or longer for a smoother texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
