Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh tomatillos husked, washed, and cut in half
  • ⅓-½ cup chopped white onion
  • 5-6 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 jalapeño seeds and membranes removed (you can add more later as needed if you want to add some heat)
  • 1 small handful cilantro about ⅓-½ cup
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional, but raw tomatillos can be pretty tangy

Instructions

  • Combine tomatillos and jalapeños in the jar of your blender and blend until the tomatillos are finely chopped/crushed.
  • Add the onions, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and sugar. Pulse until garlic, onions, and cilantro are chopped but not completely blended smooth.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. You can store this for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Store finished salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 5-7 days for best results.
  • Freeze portions for up to 3 months in airtight containers or freezer bags. Thaw in fridge before use.
