Salsa Verde Recipe
Description
Salsa Verde is made by blending drained canned tomatillos with sugar, fresh cilantro, and diced jalapeño peppers. The sugar balances the natural tartness of the tomatillos, while cilantro adds herbaceous brightness and jalapeños provide gentle heat. The texture can be adjusted from chunky to smooth by pulsing in a blender to personal preference.
This simple salsa can be used as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip for chips. Adjusting jalapeño quantity customizes spice level, and adding more sugar softens tartness. Seeding tomatillos before blending is recommended to avoid watery salsa, improving consistency.
The salsa keeps well when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for four to six days. This allows flavors to meld further and offers convenient use for several meals.
Ingredients
- 1 (28-ounce) can tomatillo drained, about 20
- ½-⅔ cup sugar
- 1 cilantro small bunch; fresh
- 2-3 tablespoons jalapeno pepper diced
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until blended to the consistency you desire.
- Add additional jalapeños for more spice, or add more sugar if you like it sweeter.
Notes
- Store salsa verde in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 to 6 days for best freshness.
- Remove seeds from tomatillos before blending to prevent a watery salsa consistency.
- Add extra jalapeños to increase spiciness or more sugar to balance tartness according to taste.
