So easy to prepare, so great to eat. If you aren't sure about the "heat" just use one chile without the seeds; to turn up the "heat" use two chiles with the seeds.

Ingredients For salsa verde w/tomatillos (sallye)

  • 1 lb
    fresh tomatillos
  • 1 md
    onion, red or white
  • 1 md
    garlic clove
  • 1 or 2 md
    jalapeno or serrano chile
  • 1/3 bunch
    fresh cilantro, leaves only
  • 1 tsp
    coarse sea salt
  • 1 dash
    ground black pepper
  • 1 dash
    lime juice

How To Make salsa verde w/tomatillos (sallye)

  • 1
    Peel tomatillos, wash thoroughly to remove sticky residue, and place tomatillos in food processor
  • 2
    Peel and quarter onion and add to food processor
  • 3
    Peel garlic clove and add to food processor
  • 4
    Cut chiles in half, remove stems, membrane and seeds. Add chiles to food processor. NOTE: If you like "heat" leave the seeds in.
  • 5
    Remove stems from cilantro and add leaves only to food processor.
  • 6
    Pulse food processor until ingredients at at your desired coarseness. We like ours a little chunky. You may have to stop the processor and wipe the sides down to get everything diced.
  • 7
    Transfer to serving dish; add salt, pepper and lime juice; stir to blend.
  • 8
    This is better if you allow it to set in fridge covered for an hour or longer before serving. It improves with age. Will last refrigerated for at least a week. (As if around here)
