Ingredients

• 4 cups green tomatoes
• 1 whole jalapeño peppers
• 1 small white onion
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Roughly chop the green tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and white onion.

Step 2

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly char the garlic cloves and jalapeño, turning occasionally, for about 2–3 minutes. This will add a smoky depth of flavor.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the green tomatoes, charred garlic, charred jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, ground cumin, and olive oil.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse lightly; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or airtight container. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
