Ingredients

• 3 large Anaheim chiles
• 6 medium Tomatillos
• 1 medium Jalapeño
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 small White onion
• 1 cup Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler and set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Place the Anaheim chiles, tomatillos, and jalapeño on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the skins of the chiles and tomatillos develop charred spots, then flip them over and roast for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the stems and seeds from the Anaheim chiles and jalapeño, if desired, for a milder salsa.

Step 4

Peel the husks off of the tomatillos. Rinse the tomatillos and pat them dry.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted Anaheim chiles, tomatillos, jalapeño, garlic cloves, onion, cilantro leaves, lime juice, salt, and water.

Step 6

Blend the ingredients together until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. You can blend it to a smooth puree or leave it slightly chunky for more texture.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa verde to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
