Servings: 8 (1 ½ cups)
Calories: 50kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos about 5 (remove husks and rinse well)
- 1-2 serrano peppers
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 medium onion quartered
- a handful of fresh cilantro
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil with tomatillos, onion, and peppers. Roast until charred, turning over as one side is done roasting.Add garlic and roast for a minute or two.
Note: It is not necessary to roast all except tomatillos but sometimes when I make this sauce I will roast all together. Also remember to rinse tomatillos well as when you remove husk the tomatillo skin is sticky. - After all have been roasted remove stem from pepper and place all ingredients with cilantro in a blender. Blend until desired consistency.*I like mine a little chunky.
If you would like a saucier sauce just add a tablespoon of water (chicken broth) at a time until preferred consistency is reached.
Use salsa verde on whatever you like. Steak, pork chops, tacos, on top of eggs, empanadas, dip for tortilla chips....possibilities are endless!
