Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Tomatillos
- 2 whole Serrano chilies
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup, chopped (loosely packed) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 small (chopped) Green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or olive oil)
Instructions
Peel and rinse the tomatillos thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos, serrano chilies, jalapeño, and garlic cloves. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a dull green and are soft but not falling apart.
Remove the saucepan from heat and drain the water. Let the cooked ingredients cool for 5 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, add the cooked tomatillos, chilies, and garlic along with the cilantro, lime juice, green bell pepper, salt, and avocado oil.
Pulse the blender to combine the ingredients, then blend on high until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse several times without overblending.
Taste the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice to your preference.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool completely before serving. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve your Keto Zesty Green Chili Salsa as a dip with low-carb veggies, over grilled meats, or with scrambled eggs for a flavorful, keto-friendly meal addition.
