Tomatillo Salsa
Description
This salsa starts with rinsed, husked tomatillos and includes chopped white onion, garlic cloves, a medium bunch of cilantro including stems, fresh lime juice, and seeded serrano chiles. All ingredients are processed in a blender until smooth, producing a vibrant green sauce with a balanced acidity from the lime and mild heat from the chiles. The recipe calls for seasoning with salt to enhance flavor. Optionally, the tomatillos can be roasted before blending to add smoky depth.
The salsa makes about 3 cups and keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. It pairs well with Mexican dishes like tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip for chips. The fresh herbs and lime juice provide brightness to enrich the flavor of various dishes.
