Ingredients

• 10 medium Tomatillos
• 2 medium Jalapeños
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Husk and rinse the tomatillos under cold water to remove their sticky residue.

Step 2

Place the tomatillos and jalapeños in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a dull green and soften.

Step 3

While the tomatillos and jalapeños are cooking, roughly chop the white onion and garlic cloves.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked tomatillos and jalapeños to a blender or food processor. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water for blending.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, garlic, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender. Begin blending the ingredients together, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you reach your desired salsa consistency.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt or lime juice.

Step 7

Allow the salsa to cool to room temperature, then serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
