Description
You are only 10 minutes away from experiencing the most delicious Salsa Verde! This version is made with fresh tomatillos (not roasted), resulting in a vibrant and flavorful green salsa you will love! You’ll never want to roast your tomatillos again- I promise! Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or burritos.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Tomatillos, husked, rinsed ( in warm water) and quartered
- 1/2 bunch cilantro- leaves and tender stems OK ( 1 cup, packed)
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers (or use more, for spicier) or 1-2 serrano chilis ( I like 2 serranos)
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1/3 cup diced white or yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons lime juice plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar ( or agave or honey)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 T olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until uniformly combined.
- Taste, then adjust salt, heat and lime. ( I find it helpful to taste with a chip, or whatever you are serving this with.)
- Refrigerate until serving!
Notes
This fresh tomatillo salsa will keep 4 days in the fridge.
If you like extra heat, serrano chilies are a great option.
If it ends up too spicy for your taste, you can temper it by adding cucumber or more tomatillo. Re-adjust with salt and lime.
