Salsa Fresca de Tomatillo (Mexican)

If you like your salsa hot and sharp, you will enjoy this recipe for a fresh tomatillo salsa verde (green sauce). It is a very easy to make uncooked salsa. The uncooked tomatillos are quite acidic and when you add 4 serrano chiles, seeds and all, your salsa is gonna pack some punch. The flavour stands up well to grilled beef. We love this salsa with carne asada. It's also a great salsa for grilled chicken.

1 lb tomatillos
4 serrano chiles
2 cloves garlic
1 cup cilantro
1 cup water
½ white onion
1 tsp. sea salt

Finely chop the onion and cilantro.

Blend the tomatillos, serrano chiles, garlic, water, and sea salt until smooth.

Pour the blended tomatillos into a serving bowl. Add the chopped onion and cilantro and stir.

Adjust the sea salt as needed.

Makes 2 cups.

Cook's Notes: This is a very hot salsa. Use 2 serrano chiles or even 1 instead of 4 if you prefer a milder salsa. If you have the time allow the salsa to rest for 30 minutes so that the flavours meld.
