GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE

 

 

FANTASTIC FRESH ZINGY ZESTY SALSA VERDE

 

I love this super fast and so easy salsa verde because it packs a green fresh zingy zesty flavour that is super versatile.  I always have a fresh batch sitting around in the fridge ready for dipping with corn chips or to compliment, burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, this salsa is also great as a sauce over chicken.

 

INGREDIENTS

(makes 500ml approx.)

 

6 fresh green tomatillos

1-2 fresh green jalapeno chilli's

1 habanero chilli (instead if you want to pack a wahoo punch)

10 stalks of coriander

1 large pinch of sea salt

1 small onion fine fine chopped

 

Very simple and quick place all the ingredients except the onion into a blender and blend or pulse until smooth, transfer into a bowl and add the onion, mix well and taste, adjust the seasoning if needed and then for the best flavour chill before use.

 

If you want a more earthy robust salsa verde, roast the green tomatillos off in a dry pan or under the grill first before blending, you can also roast off the jalapenos too.  You can also just cook out the raw salsa before using to make a softer sauce for chicken or meats.
