How to Make Tomatillo Free Salsa Verde

  1. Roughly chop 2 large jalapeños. (Remove seeds and membranes for less heat.)
  2. Place the chopped jalapeños in a food processor or blender.
  3. Pulse the jalapeños until finely chopped but not completely pureed. You want some texture!
  4. With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of corn oil, creating an emulsion.
  5. Continue to add corn oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The amount needed will vary.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more jalapeño for extra heat or more oil for a smoother consistency.
  7. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
