- 0.5 medium White onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue.
Step 2
Place the tomatillos in a medium saucepan along with the jalapeños. Cover them with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a darker green and are soft to the touch.
Step 4
Drain the tomatillos and jalapeños using a colander and let them cool slightly.
Step 5
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro.
Step 6
Squeeze the juice of the lime into the blender and add the salt and water.
Step 7
Blend the mixture until smooth, adjusting the consistency with additional water if too thick.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice as desired.
Step 9
Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container.
