Ingredients

  • 6 tomatillos
  • 3 Jalapeños with stems cut off
  • 1 cubanelle pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bunch cilantro stems chopped off
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup yellow onion diced

Instructions

  • Place the tomatillos, cubanelle pepper and jalapeños in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and boil until soft, when the tomatillos change in color, about 5-7 min, it's ready.
  • Drain and reserve about ½ cup of water. If you like chunkier salsa, add ¼ cup of water. Put the water in a blender or food processor along with the tomatillos, jalapeño, garlic, salt and cilantro.
  • Blend until smooth. Pour into a food grade container, stir in the onions and serve with tacos, chips, quesadillas, you name it. It's also great in soups.
  • The salsa will last 4-6 days in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer. Makes about 4 cups.
