Verde Salsa. This is the 'salsa de tomatillo' that I grew up with. It can be used as a sauce for grilled chicken, fish or shrimp, as the basis for green chilaquiles (pour over tortilla chips, shredded cooked chicken and shredded Monterey Jack, then heat under the broiler), and as a dipping sauce for chips. Toss tomatillos, white onion, and jalapeños with vegetable oil on a sheet tray, and season with salt and pepper.

The tomatillos in the picture already have the papery husks removed. There are actually two kinds of salsa verde: a Mexican one and an Italian one. The Italian version is an uncooked sauce usually made with parsley, olive oil, garlic, capers, vinegar or lemon juice, and sometimes anchovies. Salsa Verde originated from Mexico and is a green salsa, usually tomatillo based (unlike a red tomato based salsa).
Verde Salsa step by step
- Roast garlic, chilis, and onion. In a blender add all ingredients and blend..
It is usually used as a chip dip or on tacos (I also love it on enchiladas, fajitas, tostadas and chimichangas!). This is a roasted version of green salsa - nothing overly roasted or too far blackened for my liking, just a fair char on two sides. Salsa verde is really easy to make from scratch, all you need are tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro. To make the salsa verde, you will need to cook the tomatillos, which you can do by either boiling them, broiling them in the oven, or pan roasting them. All three approaches are quick and easy, though with broiling or pan roasting.
