Tomatillo Salsa

I received a bunch of tomatillos last week, along with some other yummy goodies like fresh garlic, onion, and peppers.  I had never cooked with tomatillos before, but I knew I wanted to try out this yummy Tomatillo Salsa!

Here’s how I made it:

First, you take the “husk” off of the tomatillos (very simple) and rinse them off.  Place them in a pan.

 

 

Place chopped onion in with tomatillos:

 

Add in garlic and chopped pepper:

(I used one jalapeno and I wish I would’ve used 2-3.  Also, I always leave the seeds in, but some people don’t care for that.  It’s your preference.)

 

Add cilantro:

 

Next, add the cumin, salt, and water.

Bring to a boil on high and then turn down to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until tomatillos are soft.

 

I added the juice from one key lime, because I thought that would taste yummy and also preserve it a bit longer:

 

When the tomatillos are soft, throw it all in a blender or food processor and puree’ –

 

The recipe made a little over 2 cups of tomatillo salsa, which was perfect for green chicken enchiladas!
