Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove the sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and garlic cloves in a large skillet or saucepan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.
Turn the heat to medium and cook until the tomatillos are softened and lightly browned in spots, about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Allow the cooked tomatillos, peppers, and garlic to cool slightly. Transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add the chopped onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, and water to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer a more rustic salsa.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Pour the salsa into a serving bowl and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, drizzle over tacos, or use as a topping for nachos or other game-day snacks.
