Tomatilloshave a vibrant, tart flavor with citrus undertones, and they are the key ingredient in dozens of Mexican green sauces. If you've ever had Enchiladas Suizas or Salsa Verde then you're already familiar with the flavor of tomatillos!
Tomatillos can generally be used in similar ways to regular tomatoes, although they offer a slightly more tart flavor and contain less sugar. That tart, slightly acidic taste makes them perfect for use, either raw or cooked, in salsas, sauces, or even jams. When used in salsa, Tomatillos tone down the hotness of chilies and help blend the flavors of the different ingredients. They are credited as the source of the "piquant" flavor in authentic Mexican cuisine, and the slightly immature green fruits are used as the key ingredient for traditional salsa verde, which can be served with just about anything from enchiladas and quesadillas to fried chicken and more. Diced raw Tomatillos also add a nice crunch to fresh guacamole, and they pair well with onions, cilantro, chili peppers and garlic. When harvested at their more ripe, golden-colored stage, they are often used in stews or simmered with meats for flavoring. To prepare the Tomatillo for use in your recipe, remove the papery husks, then rinse and dry the fruit. Tomatillos typically are not seeded before use in cooking. Store Tomatillos with their husks intact for about three weeks in the refrigerator in a paper bag. If you wish to keep them longer, you can remove the husk, wash the fruit, and freeze them.
So no matter whether you eat it plain or spoon it over tacos (or nachos!), Salsa Verde is a great trick to keep up your sleeve when you want to mix things up a bit. This recipe is fantastic, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Mmmm, bet this homemade salsa is better than any restaurant version! Love all the fresh flavours. I wish I had a big bowl of this salsa and chips in front of me right now because I would be digging in and surely devouring the whole bowl. ? Just what I want on a Friday!
Oh how I *love* salsa verde! I can still remember the first time I tried it back when I was a young buck out on the town in the 80s. It was love at first bite and the love affair has lasted these past 40 years, even if I only learned to make it myself very recently.
In addition to the boneless, skinless chicken thighs themselves, this recipe consists of a marinade and a sauce. The marinade is built on pantry staples such as soy sauce, lime juice, paprika, garlic, and dried oregano. The sauce is vibrant and green thanks to the cilantro and my quick-fix trick of using store-bought salsa verde. The salsa verde brings some heat and tang, thanks to the tomatillos, and it creates a really nice creamy sauce that can be used on so many things .
This is my Homemade-ish spin on the classic creamy green sauce from Peruvian cuisine. I combine the ingredients listed below to create something that is universally perfect on SO many things. Tacos, burritos, salads, burgers, and sandwiches are all made better thanks to this stuff.
Make the marinade: put the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, pickled jalapeos, paprika, cumin, oregano, soy sauce, and some black pepper to taste in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Put the chicken in a large resealable bag or dish, and add the marinade. Massage or toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Next, preheat the broiler to high and adjust the rack to the top third position. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in an even layer in a large sheet pan and broil, without flipping, for 7 minutes, or until charred and cooked through.
Tomatillos, known as tomates in Mxico, are one of the primary ingredients in salsa verde, along with cilantro (coriander leaves), onion, serrano chiles, and garlic. (Regular red tomatoes are known as jitomates in Mxico.)
Preheat oven to 400F. Place ducks in a shallow roasting pan, skin-side-up. Let ducks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the skin with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until the duck meat is hot and the skin is extra crispy.
This creamy and spicy Jalapeo Salsa Verde is inspired by traditional Mexican salsa taquera. It is made with roasted green jalapeos, avocado oil, lime juice, onion, salt, roasted chicken base, and garlic. Here, the hot salsa is swirled with cooling Mexican crema.
Ladle room temperature salsa verde onto a platter. Swirl Mexican crema into the salsa. Place hot roast duck in the center. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with red jalapeo, shallot, parsley, and optional flower petals. Serve rice on the side (here in a pyramid mold). Rice is great with the salsa verde too.
Mix pinto beans with salsa verde. Pour into to a casserole dish. Add plenty hunks of melty Mexican cheese (such as Oaxaca or Chihuahua). Grind black pepper on top. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes until everything is hot and bubbly. Top with cilantro.
This Slow Cooker Honey Lime Salsa Verde Pork is delicious in every form, but I have to say, my favorite way to serve it is as fajitas (recipe coming soon). Simply saute some bell peppers and onions in Mexican seasonings, pile them on tortillas with your salsa verde pork, top with hot sauce and sour cream, and you have a texture, flavor dream. But any way you serve this salsa verde pork, it will be blissfully delicious!
If making ahead, make the Honey Lime Salsa Verde Pork recipe until it is tender enough to shred then shred the pork into large sections. After you do this, let your slow cooker sit at room temperature for a bit so the crockpot ceramic insert can cool down and then cover and place ceramic insert into fridge (PORK AND ALL THE LIQUID). The next day, skim off the hardened fat from the top and heat on LOW for about 1- 1 hours to heat through, then continue with the rest of the recipe as written.

This is a terrific, classic Rack of Lamb recipe that makes the most of this premium cut of meat. An assertive rosemary garlic marinade injects flavour into the meat before roasting in the oven, then finishing by basting with garlic butter. To serve, a dazzling green Salsa Verde sauce is the perfect fresh and tangy accompaniment to cut through the richness of the lamb!
Lamb rack is a premium cut of meat and a darling of fine dining restaurants, for good reason. The meat in a rack of lamb is amongst the most tender and juicy on the animal, while still retaining plenty of flavour.
Sear the lamb rack in an oven-proof skillet. We must sear the lamb before roasting to get some colour on the meat, because the roasting time is too short for the surface to get browned in the oven. And as we all know, colour = flavour!
