Categories     condiment

Time 5m

Yield about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic
1 shallot, chopped
1 poblano chili, seeded
3/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
3/4 cup olive oil
3 teaspoons lemon juice
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender combine the garlic, shallot, poblano, parsley, cilantro, oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Serve over grilled vegetables, rice or thin out with olive oil and serve as a salad dressing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tomatillos for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Roast the tomatillos before blending them. This will give the salsa a smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of peppers in your salsa. This will give the salsa a complex flavor. If you like spicy salsa, use more serrano peppers. If you prefer a milder salsa, use more poblano peppers.
  • Add some herbs to your salsa. Cilantro is a classic herb to add to salsa verde, but you can also use parsley, oregano, or basil.
  • Season your salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.

Conclusion:

Salsa verde is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and nachos.
