Ingredients
Tomatillo Salsa Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 1-2 jalapeños, chopped (adjust for heat)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Tomatillos: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the husked and rinsed tomatillos and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and their color changes to a dull green. Drain and let cool for a few minutes.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, fresh cilantro, quartered onion, chopped jalapeños, whole garlic cloves, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice, according to your preference for flavor balance.
- Serve and Store: Serve the salsa immediately as a fresh accompaniment, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy with enchiladas, burrito bowls, tacos, or any dish that benefits from a bright and tangy sauce.
Notes
- Note 1: Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level; removing seeds can reduce heat.
- Note 2: The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in a sealed container.
