Spicy Small Batch Salsa Verde
My in-laws have owned and operated a Mexican restaurant in Florida for the past 40 years. This salsa is inspired by my father-in-law’s amazing salsas. I always seem to miss an ingredient when I watch him make his version (IYKYK 😉), but this is version is on repeat at our house!
Ingredients
4 medium tomatillos (or 6-7 small)
1 large clove of garlic in paper
2 serrano peppers, stems removed (or 1 jalapeno to make it less spicy)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2tsp kosher salt
1/4 onion minced
1/4c fresh cilantro chopped
Preparation
1. Add tomatillos, peppers, and garlic to a cast-iron skillet.
2. Over medium-high heat, roast the peppers, garlic, and tomatillos until slightly charred (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for 2 minutes.
3. Add tomatillos, peppers, lime juice, salt, and garlic with paper removed to a blender.
4. Blend salsa on low for a minute until smooth
5. Add chopped onion and cilantro, stir, and serve with your favorite foods!
