FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE RECIPE
If you like your salsa hot and sharp, you will enjoy this recipe for a fresh tomatillo salsa verde (green sauce). It is a very easy to make uncooked salsa. The uncooked tomatillos are quite acidic and when you add 4 serrano chiles, seeds and all, your salsa is gonna pack some punch. The flavor stands up well to grilled beef. We love this salsa with carne asada. It's also a great salsa for grilled chicken.

Steps:
- Whether you choose the verdant, slushy, herby freshness of the all-raw tomatillo salsa or the oil-colored, voluptuous, sweet-sour richness of the roasted version, tomatillos are about brightening tang. The buzz of the fresh hot green chile adds thrill, all of which adds up to a condiment most of us simply don't want to live without.
- For the All-Raw version: Roughly chop the tomatillos and the chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, chiles, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Process to a coarse puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.
- For the Roasted version:
- Preheat a broiler.
- Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until darkly roasted, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more will give you splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos and chiles, including all the delicious juice that has run onto the baking sheet. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, blend to a coarse puree, and scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove the excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and oregano, add a bright, flavorful taste to the salsa. Use as much or as little as you like, depending on your personal preference.
- Adjust the heat level: The spiciness of the salsa can be adjusted by adding more or less jalapeño pepper. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before adding it to the salsa.
- Serve the salsa immediately: Salsa is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This tomatillo salsa verde is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and grilled meats.
