Salsa Verde (tomatillo sauce)

Here’s a super easy recipe for salsa verde!

Use the tomatillos and jalapeños from your CSA box to whip this up in no time. 

INGREDIENTS:

  • tomatillos

  • jalapeños (or mild pepper if you prefer)

  • salt

  • cilantro

  • garlic

  • lemon juice

  • fresh onion

  • avocado (optional, if you prefer a creamy texture)

DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Remove the husks of the tomatillos, wash and rinse them and boil them for 10-15 minutes.

  2. While the tomatillos are boiling, roast your peppers in a skillet with a tablespoon of oil. Roast until they are cooked thoroughly and blistered to your liking.

  3. Add cooked tomatillo and peppers to the blender.

  4. Add salt, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh onion. (For a creamy texture add an avocado!) 

  5. Blend for about 15-20 seconds. 

Now you have a fresh tomatillo salsa or sauce, perfect for a dish of green Chilaquiles! Use it with a burrito bowl, tacos, or on your eggs at breakfast.

Or simply add it to any dish where you would like a spicy, creamy and tangy flavor.

Enjoy!
