Salsa Verde
A bright, tangy green sauce that goes on everything — tacos, eggs, grilled fish, roasted vegetables.
Time: 20 minutes · Yield: About 350 ml (1½ cups)
Ingredients
- ●450 g (1 lb) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- ●1-2 serrano or jalapeño peppers (seeded for less heat)
- ●½ medium white onion, quartered
- ●2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- ●30 g (1 cup) fresh cilantro (stems and leaves)
- ●1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- ●½ tsp fine sea salt
Method
- Place the tomatillos, peppers, onion quarters, and garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil on high for 5-7 minutes until charred on top. Flip and broil 3-5 minutes more. (Alternatively, dry-roast in a hot skillet.)
- Peel the garlic cloves. Transfer everything — including any juices on the baking sheet — to a blender or food processor.
- Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse until you reach your desired texture (chunky or smooth).
- Taste and adjust lime, salt, and heat.
- *Storage:** Refrigerator for 1 week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
