Homemade Salsa Verde Flavorful and Fresh Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 pieces tomatillos, husked and quartered
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 pieces jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the quartered tomatillos on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and slightly charred.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, sautéed onion and garlic, chopped jalapeños, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Blend until smooth, adjusting the seasoning with more salt or lime juice to taste. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse a few times to combine instead of blending completely.
- Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
