GARLIKI Tomatillo Salsa

An Authentic Mexican Tomatillo Salsa is a little tart, a little spicy, and very versatile. This salsa verde is a beautiful bright green and has a hint of smokiness from the roasting. Salsa Verde can be used the same way you use tomato salsa.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 onion

• 1 or 2 fresh Pasilla pepper

• 1 jalapeño

• 1 tsp granulated onion powder

• 1 teaspoon Jacobsen® Infused Lemon Zest Salt

• 2 tablespoons GARLKI ORIGINAL fermented garlic paste

• 1 tsp Red chili flake, or to taste

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

• Pepper to taste

• Olive oil

Step 1

Chop the onion, Deseed and rough chop the pasilla, halve the tomatillos, de-stem and de-seed the jalapeño (or keep the seeds in if you like it spicy). Put everything on a roasting pan, salt liberally, drizzle liberally with olive oil. Broil on the middle rack until everything is cooked with a little bit of char.  

Step 2

Toss everything in a Vitamix and blend.

Step 3

To the blender: Add Garliki, onion powder, salt, pepper, chili flake. Taste as you go, add more of any ingredient to highlight.

Step 4

Add fresh cilantro as the last ingredient, and blend it up.

Step 5 (Optional)

Finish with fresh lime at the end. However, the acidity of the tomatillo and the inherent tang of the Garliki can stand on its own!
