Ingredients

1 pound fresh tomatillos
1 large Spanish onion (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 jalapeno (seeds and all if you like heat)
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher or fine sea salt

Directions

Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.

Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

Truly Authentic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was super simple to make and tasted totally authentic - it could be sold at any restaurant in Mexico! Just be... sure to wash your hands after touching the tomatillo and jalapenos.Read more

tomatillo relative
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Daisy is not the only Food Network host who has said that the tomatillo is a relative of the gooseberry--so blame it on the... network researchers and producers. They are the ones who should be providing and verifying the information which is disbursed to the public. What slays me is the pronunciation--chee-a-batta!? Emeril is the worst but loveable anyway.Read more

Fast and Easy Salsa, needs more heat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this with Daisy's grilled short ribs and it was a hit. Because I was making 3 of the recipes from this "family meal"... at once (I substituted kale for collards) I missed the second page of the directions that said to cook the salsa for 15 minutes. I already had some of the (drained) raw salsa in the serving dish, but I quickly boiled the rest and stuck it in the freezer for a few minutes to cool down and served both cooked and raw salsas. BOTH were hits, couldn't decide which we liked more. I have always grilled the tomatillos, onions and jalepenos, but this was OK, too. NOT hot, add more jalepenos if you want any kick.Read more
