Tomatillo Salsa image

This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

Time 40m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh tomatillos
1 large Spanish onion (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 jalapeno (seeds and all if you like heat)
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher or fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
  • Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatillos, but I really enjoyed this salsa. It's not too tart and the flavors are well-balanced.

I love the roasted flavor of the tomatillos in this salsa. It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salsa turned out really watery. It's still tasty, but it's not the consistency I was hoping for.

I found this salsa to be a bit bland. I think it could use more salt and lime juice.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others would enjoy it.
