Salsa Verde
Megha Patel
Are you guys obsessed with salsa like I am?! We are HUGE salsa eaters in this house, and NOTHING beats a good homemade Salsa Verde.
The best part about salsa is that you really don’t need too many seasonings to spices to make it flavorful. Most of the work is done from a good batch of tomatoes, some onion/garlic, and the pepper of your choice! In this case, we are using a combination of jalapenos and habanero 😉
Tomatillo vs. Tomato
No, tomatillo’s are not exactly tomatoes… however they are from the same family. They are essentially an unripe tomato, and they taste completely different! You can totally use this recipe with regular tomatoes if you don’t have tomatillo’s near you. Just don’t broil the tomatoes if that’s the case!
Substitute on peppers
If jalapanos are too spicy for you, I bet you will not be using habaneros! Try to use peppers that have less liquid in them. If you want to add bell peppers, try not too use too much because they are very watery. I’ve tried this recipe with shishito peppers and it tastes REALLY good! Otherwise – I love serrano peppers too!
Storing it in the fridge
You can totally make large batches of this salsa and store it in a mason jar or any type of container, for up to 2 weeks! It’s the perfect thing to grab if you want to have a little snack 🙂
