La Taqueria Green Sauce Recipes

TAQUERIA GREEN SALSA (SALSA VERDE)

Steps:

• Cut the stems off the jalapenos and throw them in a small pot.
• Remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy.
• Add peeled garlic.
• Add a small amount a water, about 1/4 cup or a little more to get a steam effect.
• Place on stove at a low medium heat to get it steaming for about 15 minute.
• Add contents to a blender and add oil and blend until smooth.
• Add salt to taste.
• You may need to adjust salt, water, and chicken cubes to suit the taste because jalapenos are not all uniform in taste depending on the season.
• I used olive oil but I doubt a mexican restaurant uses olive oil.

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos and serranos in a medium-size pot with about a cup of water.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the tomatillos and serranos are tender, about 25-30 minutes. The tomatillo skins will look stretched and like they're about to burst.
• Place everything in a high powered blender, such as a Vitamix, and thoroughly mix.

SALSA VERDE - GREEN TACO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Gather your ingredients. Wash the Tomatllos and Jalapeno throughly.
• 2. Cut the Jalapeno in half and de-seed and de-vein it. Boil in a pan for approx. 7 min until soft. Remove and put it on a baking sheet.
• 3. Put the Tomatillos, Garlic with Peel On, Onion with skin on, & Bellpepper, next to the jalapeno on the baking sheet.
• 4. Turn the oven on broil and place the baking sheet on the middle rack. Cook all the ingredients until they have a nice char turning the tomatillos over to char all sides. The tomatillos are done when they are starting to lighten and turn a slight yellow color. Take out each ingredient as it gets done roasting. Don't burn the garlic.
• 5. Smash the garlic to a paste in a small bowl then add to the blender with the rest of the roasted items. Peel the skins off the tomatillos when they are finished charring then add to the blender.
• 6. Mince in the blender with pulses until it is thick like a salsa. Add the salt, cumin, to taste, and cilantro, and then the vinegar. Pulses a few times. *Note if you want this like a Green Taco Sauce you can strain the seeds from the tomatillos and omit cilantro.
• 7. Serve and Enjoy!
