By jacobwaynesmith

Ingredients

• 4 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 2 jalapenos, stemmed
• 1/2 medium onion, peeled and quartered
• 2 garlic clove, peeled
• 1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
• Kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil; add the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, and garlic.

Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and cool slightly, then put them in a blender.

Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Puree for a few seconds to blend, and then pour in about a 1/4 cup of water and process to a coarse puree; taste and season with a generous pinch of salt. You should have about 2 cups of this salsa verde.
