- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 1/2 cups
ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillo (approximately 10-12 medium tomatillos)
- 1⁄3 cup white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup cilantro leaf, lightly packed (NOT dried)
- 1 jalapeno pepper (for extra "kick", I use serrano and jalapeno, but any green chili pepper will do)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
directions
- First prepare the tomatillos. Remove papery husks and then rinse tomatillos under warm running water, using your fingers to remove the sticky residue. Remove stems.
- Chops into quarters.
- Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.
- Blend either coarse or smooth, depending on your preference.
- Transfer tomatillo salsa to covered container and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Good with tortilla chips, enchiladas, tacos, etc.
- I always triple the recipe and freeze in 8 ounce containers.

FANTASTIC. I added the juice from one lime and 1.5 chopped avocado and it sent my DH and all the kids over the moon. I used 12 tomatillos and one serrano pepper and there was only a hint of heat - probably could have stood it to be a little bit spicier, but there was so much flavor that it didn't matter... and the six year old could handle it. Flavors get better over the next couple of days. New household fave for sure; thanks a bunch!

This is a great salsa! I love the fresh flavor, beautiful color, and how easy it was to make. The only change I made was to substitute the sugar with a bit of stevia. I didn't bother chopping the onion, garlic, or tomatillo, just threw it all in the processor. I trust my Wolfgang Puck processor to do the job for me and he didn't fail me :) This is a very nice change of pace from the usual tomato salsas and I will definitley be making it often! Thanks again, Cookgirl! Knew I could count on you for yet another great recipe!!
