This is one of our absolute favorite salsa recipes and it’s SO EASY. Literally roast your ingredients and throw them into a food processor and BAM you’ve got the perfect salsa.
You can add more jalapenos if desired, sometimes we add A LOT more, just depends on our mood. This recipe is definitely a mild salsa recipe and it perfect on burritos, for chips pretty much anything!
We hope you enjoy it!
Easy Salsa Verda
Ingredients
- 6 tomatillos
- ½ onion
- 1 jalapeño (add more for additional heat)
- ½ bunch of cilantro
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- juice of one lime
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Halve the tomatillos and onion
- Take the top off the jalapeno
- Roast in the oven at 400F for 25-35 minutes
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor
If you don’t use all this up – how long does it keep in the fridge?
It should last at least a week, depending on how fresh your ingredients are.
I made this and it’s good good!! I had no chips but I had cheezes- very good. But I did a couple of things different. I had a second jalapeño to use up, so I roasted it with the tomatillos and onion,I also roasted one clove of garlic since it was a large clove with a very strong garlic flavour (I bought the garlic at the farmers market – it’s not the Chinese mild garlic) and used 2 of the grocery store (Chinese) garlic raw.
I will definitely made this again.
Can green tomatoes be used in place of tomatillos in the salsa verde?
no, you have to use tomatillos, they are available just about everywhere these days
Yes you can use green tomatoes
I too would like to know how long this keeps
You can freeze it
How long does it last in the refrigerator?
Amazing receipe shared. Thanks. Will surely try this.
This ALSO makes a great sauce for “green” tamales-either chicken or pork;in addition to what was added I use several poblano chiles
It should read Salsa verde
We fixed it, sorry!
Send me salsa again
!Please
How much does this make? I would like to can some, so I’m wondering. Thank u
Can I use canned tomatillos
Do you spray the pan with non stick spray.
I used parchment paper which works great.
This was easy and very tasty. I will make it again.
Do you scrape seeds out of jalepenos?
Does this have to be refrigerated?
thank you for making the receipe so easy to print. i appreciate not having to cut and paste and reformat. looks good.
Can this be cannec?
Can you use a blender if you do not have a food processor
Looks delicious!!
The recipe dose not address the jalapeños clearly for me. Leave seed in? Or remove all.
Leave seeds in for more spice. Take seeds out for less spice.
Does anything special need to be done to the jars that it’s out in? Or just a kid and refrigerate??
Sorry about typos. Just a lid and refrigerate I meant. And anything special done to the jar I put it in???
I would like some recipes please
I love the easy thinks to make.
Can you can this like regular tomato salsa in a water bath ????
I will definitely try this recipe. The family love’s mexican foods.
Can this be made ahead and frozen ?
The ads on here are ridiculous! Stupid ad right in the middle of the recipe. No matter how many times I try to make it go away there’s a new one that keeps replacing it or says this ad has been removed by Google and it’s still a banner smack in the middle of the recipe.
Can I use a blender,
Amazing article thanks for sharing.
Do you let it cool before putting it in the processor?
Do I let it cool before putting in the processor
Great recipe
I used a couple of Serrano peppers out of the garden
Do tasty
Could not see I am not a robot screen
Omg this smells amazing!
Can you use lemon instead of lime
Is there any reason why you wouldn’t roast the garlic along side of the onion? I would think the mellow smokiness of the roasted garlic would be amazing. Or am I wrong? Would the roasting make it too sweet? Just asking for a friend. 😉
