Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium tomatillos
- 2 whole serrano peppers
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup, chopped white onion
- 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to get rid of the sticky residue.
Cut the tomatillos in halves and place them in a skillet along with the whole serrano peppers. Toast them over medium heat until blistered and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.
Add the charred tomatillos, serrano peppers, and chopped garlic to a blender or food processor.
Add the chopped white onion and cilantro to the blender.
Juice the lime and add the lime juice to the blender along with the salt and olive oil.
Blend the mixture until smooth, adjusting the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Pour the salsa into a bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats.
