Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Tomatillos
- 1 pound, husked and rinsed
- Jalapeno peppers
- 2, stems removed (adjust for spice preference)
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, peeled
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup, packed
- Lime juice
- 1/4 cup, freshly squeezed
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Sugar
- 1 teaspoon, optional for balancing acidity
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet and roast them for about 15-20 minutes, or until their skins begin to blister and they soften slightly. This enhances their flavor.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and sugar.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
- Transfer the salsa verde to a serving bowl.
- For the best flavor, refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, grilled chicken, or fish.
