Salsa Verde - Salsa Cruda with Tomatillos
Salsa Verde - Think of salsa verde as a salsa cruda with tomatillos
Salsa Verde:
- 6 or so fresh tomatillos, outer paper removed, rolled around in a hot, dry, heavy, cast-iron skillet until very slightly softened, approximately 5 minutes (you can substitute canned tomatillos).
- 1 medium onion, peeled, tips removed and quartered.
- several garlic cloves, peeled, crushed and passed through a garlic press.
- 2 or 3 jalapeno peppers, de stemmed and quartered.
- 1 small bunch cilantro, rinsed thoroughly and blotted dry, roots removed, coarsely chopped.
- kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
- extra virgin olive oil to taste.
Place ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until desired smoothness. (For a very smooth salsa verde transfer to a blender and process on medium.) Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for several hours. Serve your freshly made salsa verde with homemade taco chips.
