Ingredients

• 10 medium-sized Tomatillos
• 1 large Jalapeño pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
• 1 medium Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the husks off the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove their sticky residue.

Step 2

Place the tomatillos, jalapeño pepper, and garlic cloves into a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to just cover the ingredients.

Step 3

Bring the saucepan to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn pale green and are slightly softened.

Step 4

Strain the cooked ingredients and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic to a blender. Add the chopped white onion, cilantro leaves, the juice of one lime, salt, and 1/4 cup of water.

Step 6

Blend the mixture on high until smooth. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as desired.

Step 7

Pour the salsa into a serving bowl and let it cool further in the refrigerator, or serve immediately at room temperature with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos and other dishes.
