I love me a good salsa verde. To me, it walks the perfect balance of tangy and spicy. Especially good on hearty dishes like pork, the brightness of the salsa will elevate your whole dish.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb tomatillos

2 Jalapeño peppers | whole - adjust the amount to the desired spiciness

Stem, seed, and roughly chop the charred jalapenos.

Step 3

Place the charred tomatillos, chopped jalapenos, garlic, onions, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender. Pulse thoroughly.
