My friend's mom from Zacatecas, Mexico taught me how to make the best authentic salsa verde! Thank you Carmen 🌶🙏🏼. This recipe features tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, salt, scallions, and cilantro, boiled and then blended to perfection.
1. Boil tomatillos (peels removed) and jalapeños (stems removed) in 1 cup of water (the tomatillos and jalapeños will not be submerged) with the lid on for 15 minutes.
2. Place the boiled tomatillos, jalapeños, and the boiling water into a blender with the garlic and salt.
3. Place a towel over the blender to hold the top down (to prevent hot liquid from splattering) and blend for 2 minutes until pureed.
4. Pour the salsa into a bowl and top with diced scallions and minced cilantro. Enjoy over tacos or with chips!
