Lemon Tomatillo Salsa

5 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 whole tomatillos
  • 1 whole chili pepper (I like jalapeno)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 4 cups cilantro

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel the skin off the tomatillos and they should feel sticky, wash until it doesn't feel sticky and does not have anymore dirt on it; cut in half or quarter.
  2. 2
    Trim the stem of the pepper and cut in half.
  3. 3
    Cut all of the stems off the cilantro and wash so there are *no* bad leaves on them.
  4. 4
    Peel and score the clove of garlic.
  5. 5
    Put the tomatillo, garlic and pepper halves in a pot of water (doesn't matter how big, just make sire they have some room).
  6. 6
    Let the water boil for about five minutes in medium-high water, and wait till the tomatillos color turns a bit yellowish.
  7. 7
    Once boiled, move the tomatillos, garlic and peppers into a food processor with about 1/2 of a cup of the hot-water (you can eye-ball it) and mix with the lemon juice and cilantro.
  8. 8
    Blend until they are all mixed up and at the point between course and smooth.
  9. 9
    Move to a container and let cool (optional, but I recommend it).
  10. 10
    Put on anything and enjoy!
