    Simple Salsa Verde


    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction


    Green salsas are almost always more mild than red salsas. The main difference between regular salsa and salsa verde is that tomatillos are used instead of red tomatoes. Due to the tomatillos, salsa verde has a tangy, zesty flavor with the underlying tastes of hearty roasted green chiles and onions.

    List of Ingredients




    3 large green chiles (such as Poblano, Ancho, Anaheim, or Hatch)
    1 medium white or yellow onion, skin removed, coarsely chopped
    1 jalapeño, seeds removed
    12 to 15 medium tomatillos, husks removed, quartered
    5 cloves of garlic
    1 bunch cilantro
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon lime juice

    Recipe



    Gather the ingredients.

    Roast the green chilis either in a broiler or over an open flame for about 10 minutes.

    Remove the chilis from the heat source and place into a bowl. Cover the bowl with saran wrap to help capture the steam and let sit for 10 minutes. This will make peeling them much easier.

    When the chilis have cooled off enough to be able to handle them, use a piece of paper towel to gently scrape off the charred skin.

    Add onions, jalapeño, and tomatillos into a food processor and pulse 4 to 5 times.

    Add in remaining ingredients and pulse until desired consistency.

    Salsa verde can be served immediately but it is better when it sits in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors meld.
