Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized tomatillos
- 1 large jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium-sized serrano peppers
- 0.5 medium-sized white onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup (loosely packed) cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Husk the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove the sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and serrano peppers on a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Roast them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop charred spots and soften slightly.
Roughly chop the white onion into quarters and set aside. Slice the garlic cloves in half.
Transfer the roasted tomatillos and peppers to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, lime juice, and kosher salt.
Blend the ingredients for 30-60 seconds until the mixture reaches your desired texture. For a chunkier salsa, pulse briefly; for a smoother salsa, blend longer.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.
Allow the salsa to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the Salsa De Tomatillo Verde with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a condiment for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
