Grilled Salsa Verde
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 2 cups salsa 1x
Ingredients
- 8 tomatillos, husks removed and fruit washed well so the skin is no longer sticky
- 2/3 cups fresh cilantro
- 1 red onion, cut into thick slices (about 1 inch)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed (if you want mild salsa, omit the jalapeno)
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
Instructions
- Heat your grill
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatillos, jalapeno, and red onion slices along with a sprinkle of salt
- Grill the vegetables until they are charred and softened
- Add the tomatillos and red onion to a food processor
- Slice the jalapeno in half and remove all ribs and seeds. Add the jalapeno according to these heat levels:
- Spicy – entire jalapeno. Medium – 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno. If you want mild salsa leave out the jalapeno entirely.
- To the tomatillos, red onion, and jalapeno, add the lime juice, cilantro, and the minced garlic
- Blend until everything is pureed to the consistency you desire
- Taste and add salt
- Let this sit in the fridge for at least a few hours so it completely cools down and the flavors can meld together (it will get a bit less spicy as it sits in the fridge, too)
