Salsa Verde
August 2, 2011 6 Comments
Growing up in the American Southwest, many of our dishes were influenced by Mexican flavors and vegetables, including tomatillos and assorted chilies, like the spicy Serrano peppers in this green sauce. The addition of peanuts gives this salsa extra creaminess. Our Salsa Verde is great on top of scrambled eggs, scooped up with tortilla chips or utilized in recipes like Chicken Enchiladas Salsa Verde.
PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 5 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 white onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 2 Serrano or jalapeño chilies, stems removed
- 14 whole tomatillos, peeled and simmered in water for 5 minutes
- 1/4 cup roasted and salted peanuts
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the broiler. Place the onion, garlic and chilies on a foil lined cast iron skillet. Broil for 4 minutes or until charred and blistered. Discard the garlic skin.
- Place the onion, garlic, and chilies in a blender jar with the tomatillos, peanuts, salt and broth. Blend until smooth.
