Taqueria Green Salsa Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Whether you choose the verdant, slushy, herby freshness of the all-raw tomatillo salsa or the oil-colored, voluptuous, sweet-sour richness of the roasted version, tomatillos are about brightening tang. The buzz of the fresh hot green chile adds thrill, all of which adds up to a condiment most of us simply don't want to live without.
• For the All-Raw version: Roughly chop the tomatillos and the chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, chiles, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Process to a coarse puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.
• For the Roasted version:
• Preheat a broiler.
• Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until darkly roasted, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more will give you splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos and chiles, including all the delicious juice that has run onto the baking sheet. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, blend to a coarse puree, and scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove the excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.

Steps:

• Put the tomatillos in a blender first, then add the remaining ingredients. Pulse a few times, then blend until the salsa is very smooth, at least 1 minute. Season to taste with additional chile and salt, and blend again.

Steps:

• Cut the stems off the jalapenos and throw them in a small pot.
• Remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy.
• Add peeled garlic.
• Add a small amount a water, about 1/4 cup or a little more to get a steam effect.
• Place on stove at a low medium heat to get it steaming for about 15 minute.
• Add contents to a blender and add oil and blend until smooth.
• Add salt to taste.
• You may need to adjust salt, water, and chicken cubes to suit the taste because jalapenos are not all uniform in taste depending on the season.
• I used olive oil but I doubt a mexican restaurant uses olive oil.

Steps:

• In a dry cast iron skillet, toast the unpeeled garlic, serranos, and pumpkin seeds until browned. Peel the garlic and place in a blender with the serranos, pumpkin seeds, poblanos, parsley, cilantro, oil, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season with the salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place everything in a food processor.
• Blend with 2 tbsp water to a smooth paste.
• season to taste.

Steps:

• Peel, pit and smash the avocados in a large bowl.
• In a blender, blend the tomatillos, and then add them to the bowl with the smashed avocados.
• Add the jalapenos and 1/2 cup water to the blender and blend; strain the liquid.
• In the same blender, add 1/2 cup water, the garlic, cilantro, onions, oregano, cumin, garlic salt and pepper and blend.
• Add to the tomatillo and avocado mixture and stir together. Add salt to taste.
