Green Chile Salsa

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan (2-3 Quarts)
  • Blender

Ingredients  

  • 0.75 lb tomatillos, about 8 medium tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
  • ½ cup Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped
  • ½ large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1.5-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ¾ to 1 teaspoon koster salt, to taste

Instructions 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the tomatillos and return to a boil.
  • Cook until the tomatillos are softened and have changed from bright to dull green, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Drain the tomatillos well and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cooked tomatillos, roasted Hatch chiles, raw onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender.
  • Add fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  • Pulse until the desired consistency is reached (fewer pulses for a chunkier salsa, longer blending for a smoother salsa).
  • Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  • Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
