- Reserve 1/4-1/2 cup of the water and let it cool.
- Place the vegetables in a food processor or blender along with the cilantro and salt.
- Add 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and blend together until smooth.
- Check consistency and add 1/4 cup more liquid if preferred.
- Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
- Refrigerate any leftover salsa for 3-4 days.
Notes
When choosing tomatillos, look for ones that are dark green and firm but not hard. Be sure the husk has not pulled away from the skin and that the actual tomatillo is not blemished or wrinkled. You may use two jalapeños or two serranos instead of one of each if you prefer. Please note that serranos do tend to be spicier than jalapeños. The salsa can heated for a slight variation in taste or if you prefer warm salsa. Just heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add the salsa to the pan and let it simmer until the foam is a light golden color.
