Instructions
Creating Tomatillo Salsa Verde is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Tomatillos: If using raw tomatillos, remove the husks and rinse them thoroughly. If roasting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roast Tomatillos (optional): Place the tomatillos and jalapeños on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 10-15 minutes until they are slightly charred. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, onion, garlic, and lime juice.
4. Blend: Pulse until you reach your desired consistency—smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
5. Season: Taste the salsa and season with salt as needed. Adjust lime juice or jalapeños for more acidity or heat.
6. Chill: Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve: Enjoy with your favorite dishes or as a dip with chips.
