Notes
Gr8 Tips:
I like to peel the tomatillos under running water. They have a sticky coating and the water makes it easier to peel.
Cilantro: I use majority leaves, but the stems don’t bother me….It’s all getting chopped and pulsed! I taste test it with a tortilla chip while the salsa is still in the blender or food processor bowl. That way, if I need to adjust the seasoning, I can adjust before I transfer it into my serving bowl. If too spicy, add more tomatillos. If not spicy enough, add more chile!
Gr8 Serving Ideas:
Use as a marinade. If using this way, discard the salsa after you remove the meat.
