Roasted Spicy Salsa Verde image

Roasted-pepper green salsa just like grandma makes it, well, minus the molcajete. It's just easier to make in a food processor. The heat of your salsa can be controlled by the amount of seeds and membrane you leave in the pepper pods.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 fresh poblano chile peppers
2 serrano chile peppers
6 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 1/2-inch slice of white onion
2 cloves garlic
salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Lay the poblano peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot grill, and cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the pepper skins are evenly charred and blackened, and the tomatillos have turned pale yellow and started to ooze juice, about 10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill.
  • Scrape off most of the burned pepper skin, cut the stems off, cut the peppers in half the long way, and remove the seeds.
  • Place the onion and garlic in the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse about 4 times to chop. Drop in the peppers, pulse 4 times to roughly chop, and add the tomatillos and salt. Pulse 4 or more times to the desired smoothness, and stir in the cilantro.

Tips:

  • You can adjust the heat of the salsa verde by adding more or less jalapeño pepper. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the pepper before chopping.
  • Be sure to taste the salsa verde before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
  • Salsa verde is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. Serve it over grilled chicken or fish, or use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips.

Conclusion:

Salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for adding a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes. With its fresh, bright flavors, salsa verde is a great way to enjoy the taste of summer all year long.
