Salsa Verde
This salsa verde recipe is a classic Mexican salsa that's easy to make at home with tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, onion, & garlic.
Ingredients
- 14 tomatilllos medium-sized
- 1-2 jalapenos 1 for mild, 2 for spicy
- 1 white onion medium, quartered
- 6 garlic cloves
- ⅓ cup cilantro
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the oven, place the cooking rack 4-6 inches below the broiler. Turn on the broiler and place the tomatillos, jalapeno peppers, and garlic on a baking sheet. Broil for 4-5 minutes, then flip all the ingredients using a spatula, and broil for another 4-5 minutes. They should be slightly charred and blistered. Let them cool to the touch.
- Transfer the tomatillos, peppers, onion, and garlic into a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the oregano, cumin, and salt, and blend until smooth. If the salsa is too thick for your liking, add one tablespoon of water at a time and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
To store in the fridge, put the salsa in a sealed jar or container and use it within a week. For freezing, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or jar and keep it in the freezer for up to three months.
