Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 12 tomatillos husks removed
- 1 sweet onion chopped divided
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3 jalapenos or 6 smaller green Chiles
- 1 bunch cilantro stems removed
Instructions
- In a medium sized pot, add the tomatillos, half the onion, half the garlic, the jalapenos to the pot. Pour in enough water to just cover the tomatillos. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes until the tomatillos are soft.
- Strain the vegetables out of the pot and add to a blender. Save the cooking water in case you need to thin the salsa.
- To the blender add all the cooked vegetables, and the remaining 1/2 chopped onion, the 3 cloves of garlic, and the fresh chopped cilantro. Blend on low speed and work up to high speed so the salsa is completely blended. Thin with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable cooking water if desired.
- Serve with fresh corn tortilla chips or enjoy on top of burritos, taco bowls, and beans and rice.
