Ingredients
- 4 cups green tomatoes
- 1 whole jalapeño peppers
- 1 small white onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Roughly chop the green tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and white onion.
Step 2
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly char the garlic cloves and jalapeño, turning occasionally, for about 2–3 minutes. This will add a smoky depth of flavor.
Step 3
In a food processor or blender, combine the green tomatoes, charred garlic, charred jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, ground cumin, and olive oil.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse lightly; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.
Step 5
Taste the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice, if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or airtight container. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
