Broiling the tomatillos gives this salsa a subtly smoky taste. If you are sensitive to spicy food, remove the seeds from the peppers. This salsa is perfect as both a dip for taco chips and to top enchiladas suizas.

This is a very good recipe. Its easy to follow and easy to make. Now I do roast all my peppers and a glove of garlic on top of the suggested recipe. Remember when you are roasting: to take the pepper out of the oven then choke it in a Ziplock baggie. Do that for a min or two then you can literally scrape out any seeds and the charred outside. You should scrape the outside because that burnt area is very bitter. I combine this recipe with a personal recipe for salsa. Read More

Pretty good but recommend roasting everything and then puree with a diced avocado the avocado is the key. Killer on everything but especially good on pork carnitas! Read More

First time working with tomatillos. I understood the directions to husk them but skipped the peeling as it seemed futile. Otherwise followed directions and ingredient list. Husband loved it and wants to hang on to this recipe. Throwing everything into the food processor made it so easy. Recommend. Read More

This salsa is tasty but a little too spicy for me even though I didn't use the Serrano pepper and used 2 jalapenos from some that I had canned. I also like my salsa a little thicker. Next time I will probably only use one pepper and maybe only the juice from a smaller lime or just half of a large one so it's not so liquidity. It's worth the try if you're looking for a tasty Verde salsa. Read More

I also roast everything except for the cilantro along with 5-6 cloves of garlic. I've never added the sugar and haven't noticed it missing. Tastes great on anything! Read More
