Fresh Tomatillo Salsa Recipe! (aka Salsa Verde) A FRESH vibrant recipe for Tomatillo Salsa using raw tomatillos, resulting in the most vibrant flavor. Serve this with chips, Fish Tacos, quesadillas or as a sauce for enchiladas!

Fresh Tomatillo Salsa 

1 lb Tomatillos, husked, rinsed

cilantro- leaves and tender stems OK ( 1 cup, packed)

jalapeno (or more,

garlic clove

onion

lime juice

coriander

½ teaspoon sugar

tsp kosher salt

T olive oil (optional)

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until uniformly combined.

Taste, then adjust salt, heat and lime. ( I find it helpful to taste with a chip, or whatever you are serving this with.)

This turned out so good. Who knew using fresh tomatillos would taste so good- I've always roasted them, but  this way is so much better!

Incredible recipe! I love the fresh and lively flavors of this salsa! I added about 1 TB of some cucumber water (a previous recipe for tzatziki where I strained the cucumbers and froze the liquid from them for a later day) just to counter a little bit of the Serrano pepper I added. This is suberp and will be a staple in my kitchen from now on!

Fantastic- I made the recipe as is, with 2 jalapeños. Perfect- I’ll never go back to roasting tomatillos again!

One of the best salsas I've ever had. TEN stars.

I was skeptical- I always roast. Well, never will I be doing that again. Can't believe it took me this long to discover this.

I also was a little hesitant about this one. But knew if it was on Feasting At Home, it would most likely be delicious. And it was. I like roasting, but this is just as good. And pretty!
Pairing this with the jackfruit tacos tonight. Super excited.

Easy and so tasty! We like fresh tasting salsa's and this delivered, a new favorite at our house.

This was delicious! Would this can well? Would I need to do anything differently? Thanks for all the delicious recipes :)

This recipe is amazing! I don’t have a food processor, but just dicing everything worked perfectly. New family favorite.

I’m a chef and I have always toasted my tomatillos. All I can say is WOW! It has such a bright taste.  I made a triple batch, some to give to friends and sons for my family.

Needing a sauce to jazz up your tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or quesadillas? Look no further. This salsa verde is tangy, zesty, and spicy. It&#039;s the perfect condiment for all your Mexican-inspired dishes.

Salsa Verde

lbs tomatillos (0.90)

serrano chilies (0.04)

garlic (0.16)

cilantro (0.20)

lime juice (0.06)

Salt (0.01)

If your tomatillos still have the husk on them, remove those first and give the tomatillos a good rinse. Set aside.

First, cut your tomatillos in half. Then, heat a seasoned cast-iron skillet to just over medium (this takes about 8-10 minutes). If your pan isn&#039;t well seasoned, rub it with a little olive oil before heating up.

Once the skillet is hot, place the serrano chilies and tomatillos face down in the pan to sear, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and do the same on the other side until each side is browned and the tomatillos are softened. Transfer the cooked tomatillos to a bowl and cover while you cook the rest.

Skillet method

Turn your oven to broil on high, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Then, spread the serrano chilies and your tomatillos out evenly on the foil. Broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. This will slightly char the skins, but careful not to let them burn!

In the meantime, dice your onion, garlic, and cilantro. Add all of these to a food processor or blender.

Once the tomatillos and serrano chilies appear blackened and soft, remove from heat. De-stem and slice the chilies. Add these to the rest of the ingredients in your food processor or blender.

Pulse until all ingredients are chopped and mixed together to your preference, about 30-60 seconds (more time for a smoother salsa, and less for a chunkier texture).

Lastly, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over high. Slowly pour the salsa in and bring it to a low boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. This will thicken your salsa and create a better flavor, so don&#039;t skip doing it.

Once your sauce is done reducing, season with salt to taste and transfer it to a jar or container to cool in your fridge. If you find the flavor too acidic or tangy, add in about ½ - 1 tsp sugar or agave before chilling.

Serve this salsa as a condiment in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or with tortilla chips.

Oven method

How to make a tomatillo green chili salsa (aka Mexican salsa Verde) with just 7 ingredients, roasted and blended into a delicious Verde sauce. This roasted tomatillo salsa is simple to make, packed with flavor, and versatile enough to enjoy with tons of meals!

Tomatillo Green Chili Salsa (Salsa Verde)

tomatillo (or green tomatoes

jalapenos (60 g

onions (120 g)

oz cilantro (or parsley if you dislike cilantro)

lime (juiced)

sugar (optional - to balance flavors)

Remove the husks of the tomatillos and then wash the tomatillos and chilis well.

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

Spread the tomatillos, chilies, garlic, and onion on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast in a pre-heated oven for between 8-10 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.You can optionally broil the ingredients for a couple of minutes in the end to slightly char the tomatillo/ peppers and add more of a smoky flavor to the green salsa.Alternatively, you could broil, pan-roast, or even boil the ingredients – all of which are quick and easy. For the best flavor, I prefer oven roasting or pan-roasting, though!

Once roasted, allow the ingredients to cool just enough so you can handle them to remove the skins, stems, and seeds.

Alternatively, you can ‘prep’ the ingredients first by removing the stems and seeds from the chilies, the stems from the tomatoes, and the peel from the onion and garlic. Either way will work.

Step 2: Roast the vegetables

Transfer all the ingredients to a blender or small food processor and process to your desired consistency. Then add the cilantro, salt, and lime juice (optional) and blitz a few more times until thoroughly incorporated.

Give the roasted tomatillo salsa a taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

Step 3: Blend the salsa Verde

Store: The tomatillo green chili salsa will last for between 7-10 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Freeze: Allow the salsa to cool, then transfer to an ice-cube tray (to portion the salsa) or an airtight container, leaving 1-inch headspace, and freeze for between 3-4 months.Allow the salsa to thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before enjoying. I’ve noticed it’s not quite as spicy upon thawing, and I’ll often add in a little additional fresh cilantro – but otherwise, it freezes wonderfully!
