Easy Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde Recipe (video)

[Saviolo]

A super easy and delicious recipe this week. We got our hands on some local fresh tomatillos, and decided to make some salsa verde! There are few ingredients, and the only specialized equipment you need is the food processor, though you could also use a stick blender for this. The flavours are bright and fresh, and roasting all of the ingredients really brings out the natural sweetness. If you're going to use garlic (as we did), we definitely recommend roasting it very well, because the sharpness of raw garlic will really overtake a lot of the other excellent flavours and aromas.

Like so many things, this dish is better the second day after the flavours have had a chance to come together. We also find that this recipe is better served at room temp or a little above, so if you're pulling this out of the fridge to serve, you might want to pop it into the microwave for a few seconds before serving!

1. That looks really good

It's sort of what I mixed together for posole verde, just need a poblano pepper or two plus some spices.

If you make this for dinner guests, have some sour cream ready for people who can't handle the heat, serranos can be very zingy when you leave the seeds in.

(Pro tip: full fat or high fat dairy is the best thing to counteract a mouthful of hell if you're not used to capsaicin)

2. Good tip!

We typically find that if we just use a couple of serrano peppers (these are from our balcony container garden!) that the other flavours and the tartness from the lime juice really calm down the heat and it's just a pleasant warmth and not a scorching heat.
