The uncooked tomatillos are quite acidic and when you add 4 serrano chiles, seeds and all, your salsa is gonna pack some punch. The flavor stands up well to grilled beef.

FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA



Fresh Tomatillo Salsa image

Ever wondered what to do with tomatillos- also known as tomates verdes? I learned this wonderful salsa recipe from a friend from Mexico. It is a tangy, herby salsa that goes great with quesadillas, tacos and burritos of all kinds. I've even used it in scrambled eggs by cooking it a bit to reduce the liquid and tone down some of the green tang. Yum! This recipe does have some heat from the chiles, but this can be modified to taste. If you hate heat, leave them out. If you like very little heat, try using a poblano chile. If you like a slight bite, I would use jalapeno chiles, and cut them open and remove the seeds. If you want more heat, leave in the seeds. If you want to go hotter than that, I would try serrano chiles. If you want hotter than that, I'm sure you know what chiles to use. lol Another note: like all produce, tomatillos can vary in flavor and tang. Taste the salsa..if you think there's too much tang, try adding some more onion and herb. If you like less cilantro, feel free to reduce. This recipe was shown to me in handfuls and bunches, so it is very flexible. To store it, I simply keep it in an old mayonnaise jar in the fridge.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb tomatillo
1 cup cilantro (leaves and stems, about 1 small bunch)
1 -3 green chili (to taste)
4 -5 green onions (1 bunch)
1 -2 tablespoon lime juice (optional) or 1 -2 tablespoon water (optional)
salt

Steps:

  • Remove the husks from the tomatillos and wash all the stickiness from the outside. Cut into quarters to make blending easier.
  • Wash cilantro and green onions well, and rough chop cilantro and cut onions into thirds.
  • Prep green chilies by cutting them in half. Remove seeds and white interior veins if you want the chilies to be less hot.
  • Blend all in the blender, the idea is to get a nice grind, not a paste, so pulse works well. I'm sure you could use a food processor, but this salsa usually turns out quite liquidy because of the tomatillos. I know my food processor would make a mess.
  • If you do find that the salsa is not blending well because of lack of liquid, you can add lime juice or water 1 tablespoon at a time. Tomatillos are tangy by themselves, so keep that in mind when using lime juice. Usually the tomatillos have enough liquid in them to facilitate blending, and putting them first in the blender will help.
  • Add salt to taste and enjoy!

FRESH SALSA VERDE



Fresh Salsa Verde image

This is another great recipe from Sabrosa which is a local entertainment and dining guide. The tomatillos give this an almost citrusy bite. It is a great sauce for spooning on tacos, serving with chips or garnishing your favorite soup or beans. Leave the seeds in the jalapeno if you want this really "hot".

Categories     Onions

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 tomatillos, peeled, cored and chopped
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
6 green onions, chopped
3 fresh jalapeno chilies, seeded, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ripe avocado, diced

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, green onions, jalapenos and salt in the blender or food processor container.
  • Pulse until onions are processed, about 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Pulse a few more times in needed, but be careful and not over process.
  • Pour mixture into an airtight container, and chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Before serving, add the cubed avocado.
  • The cook time reflects the chilling time.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky taste. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, add a lot of flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't over-blend the salsa: You want the salsa to have a chunky texture, so don't over-blend it. A few pulses in the blender or food processor is all you need.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste: Once you've blended the salsa, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomatillo salsa verde is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. With its bright, tangy flavor, fresh tomatillo salsa verde is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
