CREAMY SALSA VERDE



Creamy Salsa Verde image

One of my new coworkers, Maria, brought me a zip-top bag of washed and prepped ingredients and told me to just throw it all in a blender. In a matter of seconds, this delicious salsa verde was born! The salsa gets its creaminess from the addition of avocado. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from all 3 jalapenos; for extra spicy, leave them all in. I prefer to leave the seeds in only 1 jalapeno.

Time 30m

Yield 8

12 medium fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 cup water, or more as needed
¼ cup diced white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
1 medium onion, diced

Steps:

  • Combine tomatillos, water, 1/4 cup diced onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and oregano in a deep-sided saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, turning tomatillos, until all sides are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, adding more water if needed. When tomatillos are done, there should only be about 1/3 cup water left.
  • Remove from the heat and pour mixture into a blender. Add salt and blend until smooth. Add cilantro and blend until well mixed. Add remaining full diced onion and pulse to combine; you want the onion to be chunky.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm, plump, and have a bright green color. Avoid any that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Roast the tomatillos before blending: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven, on the grill, or even in a skillet.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Salsa verde is a great way to use up fresh herbs from your garden. Cilantro, parsley, and basil are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other herbs like oregano, thyme, or rosemary. For a little bit of heat, add some jalapeño or serrano peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making salsa verde. Try adding different fruits, vegetables, or nuts to create your own unique recipe.

Conclusion:

Salsa verde is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp. Or, simply enjoy it as a dip with tortilla chips or vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, salsa verde is sure to be a hit!
