If you are a lover of roasted salsa verde, you have got to try this Spicy Green Salsa Recipe. It is simple to make and the perfect flavor combo!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 10-12 tomatillos
- ½ onion yellow or sweet. rough chop
- 1-4 serranos cut in half and seeds removed. The number of peppers used depends on the amount of heat you like.
- 5 cloves garlic peel
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2-4 tablespoons lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Peel your tomatillos, prep your veggies.
- Place the tomatillos, peppers, onions, and garlic on a baking sheet.
- Broil in the oven, turning the veggies occasionally to make sure they are all charred.
- Remove from the oven.
- Place all into a food processor or blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add in the cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice to the blender. Then add in the cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Blend well. Then, taste and adjust as needed. I like quite a bit of lime and also salty. You might like yours differently.
- Once you have it the way you like it, you are done!
- This will store well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
- Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it.
Notes
- Make sure that you choose ripe tomatillos. A ripe tomatillo will have intact husks. The tomatillos should also be firm, not squishy.
- This salsa is great fresh, but it can also be frozen! That is right. Simply store in an airtight container, then thaw overnight before serving.
- While I blended mine in a food processor, you can also use an immersion blender, or even rough chop everything on the cutting board. Use whatever method is best for you.
- Adjust the spiciness to your own tastes! Remove all the seeds for a less spicy salsa or leave them in if you want it hotter!
