Salsa Verde
A spicy green salsa made with fresh tomatillos, chili peppers and various spices. Makes for a perfect dip for chips or as a hot sauce condiments for tacos, burritos and eggs!
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos husked and cleaned
- 3 serrano peppers or 1 jalapeño
- 3 garlic cloves
- half a yellow onion diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- 2 cups water
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients (except the lime juice) in a medium pot over high heat. Bring to boil and reduce heat to medium. Allow to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the tomatoes and other ingredients with a slotted spoon to a blender. Add about half a cup of the cooking liquid and the lime juice and blend until smooth (or as chunky as you like).
- Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. If you find your salsa to be too thick, add a splash more of the cooking liquid to the blender and blend once more. Allow to cool to room temperature. Can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
