Yield:
Makes 2 1/2 cups

Tomatillos should be bright green and firm, with dry paper-thin husks. When used raw, they brighten any salsa.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos (husks removed), washed and quartered

  • ½ small red onion, chopped

  • 1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed, for less heat), coarsely chopped

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • Coarse salt

Directions

  1. In a food processor, combine tomatillos, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro with lime juice. Pulse until finely chopped; season with salt. Serve with chips, over seared fish, or with eggs.

Cook's Notes

Tomatillos are available in Latin groceries and many supermarkets. Refrigerate them up to 1 week; remove the husks and wash off the sticky coating before using.
