Salsa Verde served in a traditional ceramic bowl with a tortilla chip for dipping, surrounded by tortilla chips, tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime on a rustic wooden table.

Fresh tomatillos give this tasty green salsa a bright, almost citrusy tang that will keep you coming back for more. 

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 3 serrano peppers, stems removed
  • ½ cup diced white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup cilantro, packed
  • 1 teaspoon Knorr Hispanic Chicken Bouillon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

In a pot, cover tomatillos, peppers, onion, and garlic with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8–10 minutes, until tomatillos turn olive green. Drain vegetables, reserving ¼ cup of the liquid.

Transfer cooked vegetables to a blender with cilantro, bouillon, and salt, then puree, adding reserved liquid as needed.

Heat oil in a 2–3-quart saucepan until shimmering. Carefully pour in the salsa (it will spatter), then fry for 5–7 minutes, until salsa thickens and deepens in color. Serve warm.
