This delicious salsa verde pairs well with so many dishes. We love pairing it with our Wild Veggie Tostadas. For a different flavor, you can skip the step of cooking the tomatillos to create a raw salsa verde.
1 lb tomatillos (husks removed)
1 serrano pepper, seeded and halved
1 chipotle morita pepper
1 garlic clove
¼ cup fresh cilantro
Salt and black pepper to taste
1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos and simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes.
2. Drain the tomatillos, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid.
3. In a blender, puree the tomatillos, serrano and chipotle peppers, garlic, and cilantro. Then, add the reserved tomatillo cooking liquid, if needed to get a saucier texture.
4. Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and add salt and black pepper to taste.
5. This green salsa can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can also be frozen.
