Roasted Salsa Verde (Green Chile Salsa)

My roasted salsa verde is better than bottled or restaurant style salsas. Use this recipe to make green chile salsa with roasted tomatillos!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb tomatillos
  • 6 Anaheim green chiles
  • 2 serrano chiles (or jalapeños for less heat)
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp white vinegar (5%) (or BOTTLED lime juice - if canning)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the outer husk/skin off the tomatillos, onion and garlic. Slice onion in half. Place on a baking sheet along with the chiles (remove seeds from chiles if you want less heat).
  2. Place under the broiler or on the grill of your BBQ and roast the tomatillos, onion, chiles and garlic until charred all over.
  3. Let chiles cool and scrape burnt, charred skin off (optional). Place the tomatillos, peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar (or lime juice) and salt in a food processor, blender or Vitamix, and pulse until smooth. Season to taste with salt.

Notes

  • Thin the roasted salsa verde with chicken stock until it's the right consistency for pouring over enchiladas before baking. Works and tastes amazing!
  • CANNING: Tomatillos clock in at pH 3.83, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, well below the safe level for water-bath canning. The added (BOTTLED lemon or lime juice) acid covers the secondary low-acid vegetables and boosts the flavor.
