the simplest, most delicious cilantro tomatillo salsa EVER!


This salsa is simply delicious! Just be careful...once you start, it's hard to stop eating it!

Here's what you need:
  • 4 medium (about 8 ounces total) tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled and quartered
  • Hot green chiles to taste (2 serranos or 1 jalapeƱo), stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup (loosely packed) roughly chopped cilantro
  • Salt
Combine tomatillos, garlic, chile and cilantro in a blender jar or food processor. Add ¼ (I tend to use less so the consistency isn't so thin) cup water and a generous ½ teaspoon salt. Process to a coarse puree. If using a blender, begin blending on low, at first pulsing to get the mixture moving evenly through the blender blades. Pour into a salsa dish and thin with a little more water if necessary (probably not necessary!) to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Taste and season with additional salt, if you think necessary. Serve it right away!! YUM!! :-D

Try this right away! I PROMISE you won't be disappointed!
