Ingredients

  • 2 pounds tomatillos husked (I had a gallon-sized bag full of them, unhusked)
  • 2 onions coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 Serrano pepper seeded and sliced
  • ½ bunch cilantro
  • 15 ounce chopped green chilis
  • 1 tablespoon green Tabasco sauce
  • ½ cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend tomatillos in a blender or large food processor.
  2. Add onion and remaining ingredients (you may have to do it in 2 batches depending on the size of your blender/food processor).
  3. Put it all in a large stock potover medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Turn heat to low and simmer over low heat for about an hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
  5. Cool and then refrigerate til ready to serve.

Notes

  • I love to use this salsa as a base for chili verde, to throw in the crock pot with pork or chicken, homemade enchiladas, over rice and beans and so much more.
  • If you like garlic you can certainly add another clove.
  • Serrano peppers are MUCH hotter than jalapeno peppers so make sure to get all the seeds out (that’s where the heat lives).
