Tomatillo Salsa Verde

I frequently serve this salsa with my Mexican dishes, including tacos, Spanish rice, and barbacoa. Keep in mind, though, this salsa is great with any dish that needs a kick. If you want to have that nice smoky flavor in your sauce, you can roast the tomatoes, onions and the jalapeno over a gas stove or grill flame. One of our favorite is the tortilla and chicharrones, salsa verde pairs well with this dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs tomatillos
  • 2 jalapeno
  • 1 small white onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • bunch of jalapeno
  • 2 tsp salt
  • juice of 1 lime

Directions:

  • Husked the tomatillo and rinse to remove the some of the sticky stuff and just roughly chopped.
  • Peel the onion and chopped in quarters.
  • Remove the tough part of cilantro and roughly chopped.
  • Add everything in a blender and puree.
  • Taste and add more salt if necesssary.
  • Transfer in a glass container and refrigerate.

Note:

To mellow the flavor of the tomatillos, either grill it or boil it whole. This will avoid the bitter taste, too.
