Salsa Verde

Not only is a salsa verde superb as a dip, but it also makes one of the best chicken tacos around, and nothing is easier than making a taco.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 serrano or jalapeño peppers
  • 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 1 cup cilantro, packed
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/3 medium white onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2-1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Stem the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes (where most of heat reside).
  • Put the whole lot into a blender and puree until quite smooth. Taste to adjust salt and lime juice. You’re done.
  • This salsa will stay fresh for a few days refrigerated, but it freezes very well too.
