Salsa Verde
I grew up eating this stuff on everything - eggs, tacos, grilled chicken, you name it. Takes ~30 minutes but most of that is just letting the tomatillos char and get soft.
Ingredients
Ingredients (~6 servings, makes ~2 cups)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 medium tomatillos ~1 lb, husked
- 1 large white onion quartered
- 1-2 jalapeños stems removed, seeded if desired
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro stems removed
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in large pot over high heat.
- Add tomatillos, onion quarters, jalapeños, and garlic in single layer.
- Char for 5 minutes, flip, and char other side for 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat, cover, and cook 15 minutes until tomatillos soften.
- Cool completely for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to blender with raw onion quarters, cilantro, and salt.
- Pulse to desired texture.
- Store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
Notes
Short pulses prevent over-blending. Adjust jalapeños for heat preference.
