Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds tomatillos, husked
2 fresh jalapeno peppers
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 dash cloves
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash black pepper
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or salt

Steps:

  • Place tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic in a large pot. Pour in just enough water to cover the tomatillos; they will float, so press them down with your hand as you measure the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the color of the tomatillos lightens to a yellow color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Strain the tomatillos, reserving the water. Place into the bowl of a blender; add the cloves, cumin, pepper, and chicken bouillon. Puree until smooth, use the reserved water as needed to adjust the consistency.

Tips:

  • To make the salsa more flavorful, use fresh, ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • If you don't have fresh tomatillos, you can substitute canned tomatillos. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • You can adjust the heat of the salsa by adding more or less serrano pepper. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the pepper before chopping it.
  • Be sure to chop the onion and cilantro finely. This will help the flavors to blend together better.
  • For a smoother salsa, blend the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, chop the ingredients by hand.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The salsa will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
