Tomatillo Salsa
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day is for fresh tomatillo salsa, made from scratch.
This version is loosely based on Rick Bayless’ recipe. You can use this as salsa or spoon it over grilled chicken for a real treat. This also makes an excellent sauce for enchiladas verde.

Delicious salsa! I love tomatillos and don’t get to eat them very often. This is a super easy recipe to make. The only changes I made besides cutting the recipe in half, was to half the amount of serrano pepper and a little less onion – it was still plenty spicy and the consistency was perfect without any water! I might add a little garlic but I like to add garlic to a lot of things. Thanks so much for sharing, made for Culinary Quest 2015
Thanks! It is good to halve the recipe—>I use full recipe with things like chile verde and it is easy to freeze in case I am working up garden peppers. Makes a nice stash for winter!
This is great tomatillo salsa! I’ve made this type of sauce for years – except we boiled the ingredients instead of roasted them (and included some garlic cloves). I like this method because I love the roasty (is that a word?) taste! Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest 2015.
