Two super easy salsa recipes to use up the last of those summer veggies
No store-bought salsa will beat this
Salsa verde
With the end of the summer, comes great quantities of tomatillos that need to be used quickly! I think tomatillos were invented to become salsa verde. Salsa verde is probably the easiest thing to make that tastes amazing and can impress your guests.
A spicy and fresh green salsa
Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 12 tomatillos
- Fresh Coriander (To taste)
- 4 jalapeños
- Salt & Pepper (To taste)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves of garlic or 3 stems of garlic scapes
Instructions
- Prepare yourself, this is a complicated recipe. Have a drink and mentally prepare for the task ahead.
- Roughly cut up the tomatillos and the onion.
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeños and keep them aside. Roughly chop the rest.
- Put the lime juice, tomatillos, onion, garlic and jalapeños in a blender and blend until an even purée is achieved.
- Taste your purée. Add your desired quantity of coriander, salt and pepper. If it is not spicy enough, add a few seeds of the jalapeno.
- Pulse the blender to mix in the seasoning.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips or on tacos, or drink it as a very spicy smoothie if that's your thing.
