Ingredients
1.25 pounds tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
1 small white onion
0.75 cup fresh cilantro leaves and stems
2 whole limes, freshly juiced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse thoroughly to remove sticky residue.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook tomatillos for 5 minutes until they turn a dull olive green.
Add white onion, cilantro, lime juice, seeded jalapenos, and kosher salt to a blender jar.
Add the warm boiled tomatillos to the blender.
Pulse until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Substitute red onion for a sharper flavor profile if desired. Adjust the salt levels to taste before blending. The salsa will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Removing all seeds from the jalapenos significantly reduces the heat level.
