Salsa Verde

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Course: Dip, Salsa
Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g tomatillos
  • 2 jalapeño peppers
  • ½ medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt or more, to taste
  • ½ bunch cilantro fresh

Method
 

  1. Peel the tomatillos and cut them in half. Place them on a baking tray, cut side up.
  2. Add the jalapeños, onion, and garlic to the tray, and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatillos are slightly charred and softened.
  3. Remove the seeds from the roasted jalapeños. Transfer all ingredients – including the lime juice, salt, and cilantro – to a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
  4. Pulse a few times until you get a uniform salsa. It should be smooth, but not too runny, and without large chunks.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Store in a sterilized jar.

Notes

The salsa will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
