The Best Fresh Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chile pepper into a saucepan. Season with cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt; pour in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a blender, carefully puree the tomatillos and water in batches until smooth.

FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• 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.)
• Refrigerate until serving.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
• Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

QUICK FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until softened and olive green. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender. Add the chiles, onion, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl, add salt, and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt, and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

THE BEST FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Peel clean and quarter tomatillos. When buying tomatillos it is a good idea to check to make sure they are all good.
• Peel garlic and cut jalapeno discarding seeds (add some of the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot).
• Place tomatillos, garlic, onion and jalapeno in your food processor. With chopping blade pulse several times until consistency is fine and consistent.
• Pour mixture into a sieve and drain off the liquid.
• In a bowl combine tomatillo mixture with 1/2 to 1tsp salt, about 1/2 tsp black pepper, cilantro and the lime juice. I add as much of the lime pulp as I can because it tastes so great in the salsa.
• Taste can be adjusted by adding more lime, garlic or jalapeno. If your tomatillos are especially sour you may add a little sugar.

EASY TOMATILLO SALSA

FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Taste a bit of a jalapeño to check heat level. If it seems too mild, use 3 peppers.
• Combine all ingredients plus 2 tablespoons water in a blender. Pulse a few times before blending into a purée. Add a bit more water if needed: the salsa should be pourable. Serve.

FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Remove the husks from the tomatillos and wash all the stickiness from the outside. Cut into quarters to make blending easier.
• Wash cilantro and green onions well, and rough chop cilantro and cut onions into thirds.
• Prep green chilies by cutting them in half. Remove seeds and white interior veins if you want the chilies to be less hot.
• Blend all in the blender, the idea is to get a nice grind, not a paste, so pulse works well. I'm sure you could use a food processor, but this salsa usually turns out quite liquidy because of the tomatillos. I know my food processor would make a mess.
• If you do find that the salsa is not blending well because of lack of liquid, you can add lime juice or water 1 tablespoon at a time. Tomatillos are tangy by themselves, so keep that in mind when using lime juice. Usually the tomatillos have enough liquid in them to facilitate blending, and putting them first in the blender will help.
• Add salt to taste and enjoy!
