Ingredients

• 10 medium Tomatillos
• 2 medium Jalapeños
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 large Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue.

Step 2

Place the tomatillos in a medium saucepan along with the jalapeños. Cover them with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a darker green and are soft to the touch.

Step 4

Drain the tomatillos and jalapeños using a colander and let them cool slightly.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro.

Step 6

Squeeze the juice of the lime into the blender and add the salt and water.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth, adjusting the consistency with additional water if too thick.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container.
