Simple Salsa Verde

November 10, 2013 ยท View on GitHub

I got this base recipe from a vegan friend. If you can't find one of these peppers, swap in another one!

  • 6 Average-sized tomatillos
  • 1 Poblano pepper
  • 1 Serrano pepper
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper
  • 1 Sweet red pepper
  • Juice of 1 or 2 fresh-squeezed limes (to taste)
  • Pinch or two kosher salt (to taste)

You're in charge of the heat here. For a milder salsa, remove all the ribs and seeds inside the peppers. For medium, leave in a few ribs, and for hot, go nuts. Rough chop the peppers and tomatillos, then throw into a blender or food processor with salt and lime juice. Pulse to desired consistency.

As with most salsas, this will taste better if you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before eating. It's great on chips or drizzled over steak or pork tacos.
