Ingredients

  • 1 lb Tomatillos
  • 3/4 Onion (medium)
  • 1 Cilantro
  • 3 Scallions
  • 3 Serrano chili peppers
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Method

  • This is a tomatillo.
  • I used ones with large fruit in the middle.
  • Peel the tomatillos and wash them well.
  • Quarter half of the onion and finely chop another quarter.
  • Mince the cilantro and finely chop the scallions.
  • The peppers on the left are Serrano chili peppers.
  • They're much longer and thinner than the jalapeno on the right and have a milder flavour.
  • Slice the Serrano chili peppers in half vertically and use a spoon or knife to get rid of the seeds.
  • Boil some water with a pinch of salt in a saucepan and add the onion (the quartered half), tomatillos, and cilantro in that order.
  • When the water comes to a boil once again, stop the heat and drain the vegetables.
  • Add the vegetables to a food processor and blend them until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the finely chopped onion, scallions, cilantro, and salt.
  • Chill the salsa in the refrigerator and serve with chips.
