Salsa Verde

Green Salsa

1 lbs tomotillos

2 jalapeno peppers (or serrano pepper for more heat)

1 small red onion

3 garlic cloves

1/2 cup fresh cliantro

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

2 tbsp lime juice

salt to taste

  • Peel, rinse and dry the tomatillos. Slice them in half and set them onto a large lined baking sheet.
  • Slice 1 jalapeno pepper in half and set it on the baking sheet with the tomatillos, skin sides up.
  • Roast the tomatillos and jalapeno pepper at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes, or until the tomatillos begin to char slightly. The skins will darken.
  • Remove and transfer to a food processor or blender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Adjust for salt and serve. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container to let the flavors mingle. Great with tortilla chips!
