ROASTED 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.  Roasting the tomatillos adds a whole another depth of flavour.  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.  This sauce will keep for 5 days in a ball mason jar in the fridge but mine never lasts that long!

Prep time 10 minutes / Oven time 30 minutes 


Ingredients 
(makes 500ml approx.)
 
6 fresh green tomatillos
1-2 fresh green jalapeno chilli's
1 clove garlic
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

Heat your oven to 200 C / 400 F on a baking tray place the tomatillos, jalapeños and garlic and roast in the oven for around 30 minutes.  Remove from the oven and very simply 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, chill before use.
 
If you want a dinner sauce cook the raw salsa before using to make a softer sauce for great chicken, steak and enchiladas.
