This is one of the recipes we like to break out as soon as Winter has done its worst and we start enjoying the outside. There really isn’t anything as satisfying as knocking out the tasks on a Saturday and having a beer with some chips and this salsa verde looking over that freshly mown lawn. Not to deflect away from the recipe, but once, as I was sitting down to this very scenario, a wasp bombed and stung me on my neck! I was so ticked off. No deck time after that. Didn’t stop me from enjoying my chips and salsa inside, though! 🙂 Easy, fresh, bright, delicious, and so much better than the over-salted store-bought kind. Salsa verde can be a chip dip or used in so many other recipes. Top everything from tacos, burritos, enchiladas, casseroles, or any of your favorite Mexican foods. And homemade salsa will beat the pants off store-bought every time. Try our Strawberry Shortcake!
Homemade Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Peel the husk off the tomatillos, wash thoroughly. Tomatillos will have a sticky film on them that needs to be removed. Coarsely chop the 1/2 onion into quarters, smash the garlic cloves. Place the onions, garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Roast at 400º for 15 to 20 minutes. If you want a mild salsa verde, you can remove the seeds from the jalapenos before roasting. Check out our Street Tacos! Chop the onions and jalapenos into smaller pieces. Toss the roasted tomatillos, jalapenos, onions, cilantro, salt, and lime juice into the food processor or blender. Process until the desired consistency. Then serve it up as you see fit. There are plenty of ways to enjoy this freshly made salsa. So grab your tortilla chips and start dipping! You can also try it on our Vegetarian Burrito or Baked Chicken Chimichanga. It’s all good in so many fabulous ways. We are sure that this will become one of your favorite salsa recipes. You will want this around all the time. Bring on the green salsa!
