Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 whole Tomatillos
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 medium White onion
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Husk the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove their sticky residue.
Peel and roughly chop the white onion; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and garlic cloves. Cover with water and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the tomatillos change from bright green to a dull, slightly yellow-green color and are soft to the touch.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender. Allow to cool slightly before blending.
Add the chopped onion, fresh cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and 1/4 cup of water to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Pour the salsa into a bowl or jar and let it cool to room temperature. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
