Yummy Salsa Verde Recipe

May 15, 2013 By Shannah 13 Comments

The love for Tex-Mex and Mexican food in our house is pretty obvious!  You can see it week after week in my What to Cook Wednesday weekly menus.  Plus, we’re regulars at our local Mexican restaurant and you’ll always find salsa in the house.
Typically, I focus on more traditional salsa and guacamole {although, I have been known to make the guacamole with bacon!}, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at a salsa verde recipe for something a little different.

What You’ll Need:
– 20 tomatillos (little green tomatoes)
– 2 serrano peppers (seeded if you prefer it less spicy)
– 4 cloves of garlic
– 1 onion, roughly chopped
– 1 can diced green chiles
– 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
– 2 Tbsp cumin
– 1 tsp white pepper
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 tsp mexican oregano

Let’s Make It:
1)  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and add the tomatillos, garlic and onion. 


Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until juicy.  Let cool slightly.

2)  In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic with remaining ingredients.  Pulse until blended to desired consistency.

3)  Refrigerate until ready to eat.  Dig in!

How is that for a super simple salsa verde recipe?! I love the flavor of the roasted tomatillos because the roasting adds such a smoky quality to the flavor of the salsa!  Definitely give this one a try!

    Just an FYI, tomatillos and green tomatos are NOT the same thing at all. Tomatillos have a husk that needs to be removed before using.

      You are totally correct and I didn’t mean to give the impression that I thought they were the same thing. In Spanish, a tomtillo is called tomate de cáscara, tomate de fresadilla, tomate milpero, tomate verde (green tomato), tomatillo (Mexico; this term means “little tomato” elsewhere). Even though tomatillos are sometimes called “green tomatoes”, they should not be confused with green, unripe tomatoes (tomatoes are in the same family, but a different genus).
      I will update the recipe to make sure it is clear that a tomatillo is not the same as a green tomato even though they are commonly referred to as “little green tomatoes”. Thanks for bringing this up! 🙂
