Mexican Green Honey Salsa Medium Hot Recipes

SALSA VERDE RECIPE: THE ULTIMATE MEXICAN GREEN SALSA

Steps:

• Peel, rinse and dry the tomatillos. Slice them in half and set them onto a large lined baking sheet.
• Slice 1 serrano pepper in half and set it on the baking sheet with the tomatillos, skin sides up.
• Roast the tomatillos and serrano pepper at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes, or until the tomatillos begin to char slightly. The skins will darken.
• Remove and transfer to a food processor or blender.
• Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Adjust for salt and serve. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container to let the flavors mingle. Great with tortilla chips!

HOT AND CREAMY SALSA VERDE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place chopped chiles, tomatillo, cilantro, garlic, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until chiles and tomatillo are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to jar of a blender and puree until completely smooth. Transfer to bowl, stir in sour cream and lime juice. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to a week.

MEXICAN GREEN HONEY SALSA (MEDIUM HOT)

Steps:

• In a large no-stick skillet, grill the onion, peppers and garlic for about 5 minutes, turning them until they are evenly grilled (slightly browned). Place into a bowl and set aside.
• Grill the tomitillos next, by the same method.
• Put all the grilled ingredients into a food processor and chop fine by pulsing. Pour into a mixing bowl.
• Add cilantro, honey, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Stir. Refrigerate for an hour or so before serving.
• The salsa should be fairly liquidy. You can add additional broth if necessary.
• Serve over tacos and burritos.
• NOTE: I much prefer to use Tupelo Honey in this recipe which does somewhat improve the flavor.

GREEN HOT SAUCE (SALSA VERDE)

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, and garlic in a saucepan, and add water to just cover. Sprinkle the salt over the top, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the tomatillos are soft and have turned slightly brownish in color, 20 to 30 minutes. Add more water if needed to keep the mixture from burning as it cooks.
• Pour the cooked vegetables into a blender, and blend until smooth.
