Salsa Verde
Report
Salsa verde is a flavorful condiment made by blending roasted tomatillos, peppers, onion, garlic, salt, and cilantro for a spicy and tangy sauce.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ripe tomatillos about 8 to 10
- 1 Jalapeño or serrano chile, halved and seeds removed, more to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar more to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler (to 500°F) and set a rack 6 inches from the broiler.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos and cut them in half. Place them cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet with the serrano or jalapeno pepper.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler, and broil for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip the vegetables over and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes. They do not need to be cooked. Let them cool.
- In a food processor, pulse all ingredients, except the cilantro, until smooth. Taste and season with additional salt or sugar as needed.
- Stir in cilantro and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Keep salsa verde in a covered container in the refrigerator for 1 month and frozen for up to 3 months.
- For a smoky flavor, grill the tomatillos and peppers instead of broiling.
- To control the spice level, adjust the amount of serrano or jalapeno peppers.
- Allow the salsa verde to rest in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and for it to thicken.
