Ingredients for Salsa Verde
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this tasty salsa verde:
- 8-10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 2-3 jalapeños (or to taste), stems removed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt, to taste
Instructions to Make Salsa Verde
Now that you’ve got all your ingredients, let’s get cooking!
- First, in a saucepan, bring some water to a boil. Carefully add the tomatillos and jalapeños, cooking them for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender. You’ll notice that the tomatillos will turn a bit darker in color.
- Once they’re cooked, drain the tomatillos and jalapeños and let them cool for a minute.
- Next, throw the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic into a blender. Blend until you get a smooth consistency but not completely pureed – a little chunkiness adds character!
- Then, add the lime juice and fresh cilantro to the blender. Blend again until everything is well combined.
- Don’t forget to taste your salsa! Add salt as needed to enhance the flavor.
- Finally, transfer your salsa verde into a bowl, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge to let those flavors meld together.
And voila! You’ve got yourself a stunning batch of salsa verde that’s all ready to elevate your dishes. Serve it up alongside your favorite greens, with tortilla chips, or as a sauce for your grilled meats. It’s a hit for sure! Enjoy!
