Share:
Ingredients
- 15 medium-sized shucked tomatillos
- 1 medium-sized peeled yellow onion cut in half
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 seeded serrano chilis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup packed fresh cilantro and stems
- coarse salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Briefly rinse the tomatillos under cold water.
- Evenly spread them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper with onion, garlic, and peppers.
- Drizzle the olive oil over top of the vegetables. Season with salt.
- Place on a rack in the top 1/3 of the oven at 425° and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned and the tomatillos and peppers turned to a muted green color.
- Remove them from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender with a lid but replace the center piece of the lid with a kitchen towel and blend on medium speed until smooth.
- Adjust the seasonings with salt and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: For freshness, you can make this salsa up to 3 days ahead.
- How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This recipe will not freeze well. However, you can process these to be canned in a boiling water bath canner for 40 minutes. This procedure will allow the salsa to last in a cool dark place for up to 6 months.
- If you love spice, do not remove the pith and seeds in the chilis.
- You can finish the salsa verde with juice of ½ lime.
- Another cooking option is to pan-roast the shucked and rinsed tomatillos, onions, garlic, and chilis in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until browned and tender. Then, add the mixture to the blender with cilantro and blend until smooth.
- The other cooking method is to add the shucked and rinsed tomatillos, onions, garlic, and chilis to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let them cool before blending with cilantro until smooth.
