My friend's mom from Zacatecas, Mexico taught me how to make authentic salsa verde this past weekend! Fresh, homemade salsa beats store-bought any day and is so easy to make! Thank you Carmen.

Ingredients

• 7 Tomatillos, peels removed
• 5 Jalapeños, stems removed
• 1 Clove Garlic
• 1 Cup Water
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 Stalk scallions, diced small
• 1/4 Cup Cilantro, minced

Instructions

1. Boil tomatillos and jalapeños in 1 cup of water (the tomatillos and jalapeños will not be submerged) with the lid on for 15 minutes.
2. Place the tomatillos, jalapeños and boiling water in a blender with the garlic and salt.
3. Place a towel over the blender to hold the top down so that hot liquid doesn't splatter) and blend for 2 minutes until pureed.
4. Pour into a bowl and top with scallions and cilantro - enjoy over tacos or with chips!
