Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound fresh jalapenos
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • pound tomatillos husks removed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • 1. Slice the top off of the jalapenos and cut each in half, lengthwise. Place in a pot.
  • 2. Pour the broth over the jalapenos, being sure to cover completely.
  • 3. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower to simmer and cook 8 minutes or until the peppers are slightly soft.
  • 4. Add the husked tomatillos to the pot. Cook an additional five minutes, turning the tomatillos once. You want them to be soft, but not mushy.
  • 5. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the jalapenos and tomatillos to a high powdered blender or food processor.
  • 6. Add the cilantro and salt and 2 tablespoons of the broth.
  • 7. Pulse until salsa consistency is reached, adding more broth if needed.
  • 8. Serve immediately or keep stored in an air tight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

This salsa is SPICY. To mellow out the flavor, seed the jalapenos before adding them to the pot.
