Smoky, Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Verde Aka Canned Green Hell! image

I wanted to preserve my Recipe #97531 and came up with this. Adding the lemon, lime juice and vinegar for acidity to preserve the salsa. Green tomatoes can be used in place or along with the tomatillos. After opening the canned salsa you can drain some of the liquid so not to watery. Do NOT thicken with flour or cornstarch. FYI- don't like heat replace the hot chili's with bell pepper that you roasted.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs tomatillos, cut into quarters
2 habanero peppers, seeds and all
2 onions, diced
3 garlic cloves
2 -4 chipotle chiles in adobo
1 cup fresh parsley (I used all three) or 1 cup fresh basil (I used all three)
1/4 cup bottled lemon juice
1 -2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1/4 cup vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lime, very fine shredded zest and juice

Steps:

  • Prepare canner, jars and lids.
  • In a food processor place the first 6 ingredients, pulsing till very small pieces. It will be a tight fit. You can start to pulse to give more room then add additional ingredients.
  • In a large stainless saucepan combine all the ingredients.

  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Ladle hot salsa into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.

  • Process for 15 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, remove lid of canner and let jars sit for 5 additional minutes.
  • Remove jars, cool, label and store.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos with a deep green color and firm texture. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and smokiness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for both serrano and jalapeƱo peppers, but you can use any type of pepper you like. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on how spicy you want the salsa to be.
  • Don't overcook the garlic and onion: You want the garlic and onion to be softened, but not browned. Otherwise, they will add a bitter flavor to the salsa.
  • Season to taste: Once you've blended all of the ingredients together, taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Conclusion:

This smoky spicy tomatillo salsa verde is the perfect way to add a little heat and flavor to your next meal. It's great on tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or even just as a dip with tortilla chips.
