Salsa Verde

Near me tomatillos have become readily available and abundant, which is wonderful, because they are delicious when blended. 

Salsa Verde


Ingredients

2 Tomatillos
1 Small Jalapeño
2 cloves of garlic
2 Tbsp Cilantro
2 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt

Directions

1. Peel and wash the stickiness off of the tomatillos with soap and water

2. Brown tomatillos and garlic in a pan over medium heat until slightly browned.

Tip: Cut tomatillos in half or quarters to achieve more surface area for brown spots 

Or

2. Place tomatillios under the broiler to roast and until dark brown spots appear (about 4 minutes)

3. Place tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro,  olive oil, and salt into a blender and combine.
Tip: for less heat from the jalapeño ensure all of the seeds and interior are removed so you are just left with the shell of the pepper

4. The mixture may be slightly too thick.  

5. Add 1 Tbsp of water at a time to create a salsa consistency, not a paste.
