Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Tomatillos
- 2 whole Jalapeños
- 2 whole Serrano peppers
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 medium White onion
- 1 cup Cilantro
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Husk and wash the tomatillos to remove any sticky residue. Cut them in half and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Add the jalapeños, serrano peppers, garlic cloves (leave them unpeeled), and onion (peeled and quartered) to the baking sheet with the tomatillos.
Broil the vegetables for 8-10 minutes or until the tomatillos are softened and lightly charred, rotating the peppers and onion halfway through for even roasting.
Once cooled slightly, peel the garlic cloves and transfer all the roasted vegetables into a blender or food processor.
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo, cilantro, lime juice, salt, cumin, and water into the blender with the roasted ingredients.
Blend the mixture until smooth or your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice to taste.
Transfer the salsa to a saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
Allow the salsa to cool if serving fresh or proceed to canning. For canning, sterilize jars and follow safe water bath canning protocols.
Enjoy your Smoky Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Verde with your favorite dishes or as a fiery dip!
