Ingredients

  • 6 green tomatillos husks removed
  • 1 red roma tomato
  • 1 serrano pepper more if you like heat
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Boil all of the tomatillos, tomato and the serrano until soft. About 10 min. Drain and set aside.

  2. Crush garlic clove into the bowl of a small food processor or blender. (Ideally a mocaljete would be used if you have one)

  3. Add the tomatoes and pepper. Pulse until the salsa is combined, but don't over blend.
  4. Add salt to taste. (I started with about 1/2 tsp)
  5. Mix in chopped cilantro right before serving.

*if your salsa is thicker than you'd like, add a small bit of water.
*if you're making the salsa ahead of time, wait to add the cilantro until right before serving.
