Baja Fresh Tomatillo Salsa Verde
Ingredients:
• 1 ½ pounds fresh tomatillo, husked
• ½ fresh jalapeno pepper, stems removed
• 1 fresh poblano chili, stemmed and seeds removed
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 8 tablespoons fresh cilantro (stems removed) chopped
• 1 ½ tablespoons salt
• 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
• ½ cup cold water
• tortilla chips
Instructions:
• Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash the tomatillos under cool running water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut the tomatillos into quarters and place in a blender or a food processor (fitted with the metal blade).
• Roughly chop the jalapeno and poblano chili and add to the tomatillos.
• Add the remaining ingredients (lime juice, cilantro, salt, sugar and water).
• Process to a coarse puree, and then scrape into a serving dish. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips (or on top of chicken or steak tacos). Always stir salsa prior to serving.
*** If making ahead of time, store it in a container with a lid and place it in refrigerator. The salsa keeps in the refrigerator for 1 day only.
