How to Make Tomatillo Salsa Fresca
- Rinse tomatillos under warm running water and remove the papery husks and sticky residue using your fingers.
- Remove stems from the tomatillos and chop them into quarters.
- Roughly chop the white onion and remove the stems from the serrano peppers.
- Combine the tomatillos, onion, serrano peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until you reach your desired consistency – coarse or smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or serrano peppers to your preference.
- Transfer the tomatillo salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the salsa thicken slightly.
