Servings 4 people
If you’re looking for a flavorful homemade salsa recipe for your next party, you’re going to want to try this bold Tomatillo Salsa! With just a handful of fresh ingredients, you’ll have the perfect chip dip or topping for your fiesta!
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos husks removed, and rinsed
- 2 jalapeños
- 1/4 cup red onion minced. Can use white onion.
- 2 cloves garlic cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 1/3 cup water plus more if desired
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place an oven rack at the top of the oven and preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, and place the whole jalapeños on the foil along with the tomatillos with the stem sides down. Broil 3-5 minutes until they are charred. Turn the tomatillos and jalapeños over and place under the broiler to charr for another 3-5 minutes.
- Using gloves, core the jalapeños, remove the seeds, if desired, and cut into pieces. Place them into a blender. Add the tomatillos into the blender, and scrape off any juice or seeds from the tin foil.
- Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, and water and blend. You can choose to make it as coarse or as smooth as you desire. At this point, you can add a bit more water to thin it out if you'd like.
- Allow the salsa to sit for at least a half an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups.
You may want to add more water to thin it out after storing any leftovers.
