Ingredients
- 4 tomatillos
- 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
- 1 poblano, chopped
- 1 serrano pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove the sticky residue.
- Chop all of the vegetables.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large saute pan. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan.
- Saute vegetables until soft. The tomatillos will become very soft. Be sure to stir the vegetables around frequently so they do not stick too much to the pan. Scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan. These have a lot of flavor in them.
- Once the vegetables are soft and you can see some charring, turn the heat off and remove the pan. You may want to let it cool just a bit before you add them to the food processor.
- Add the vegetables, cilantro, lime juice and salt into the food process. Let run for about 30 seconds, or until all the vegetables are blended. This will be a chunky salsa, but you don't want really large pieces.
- Chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
