To preface I regularly make delicious salsa that I love.
My mother brought all these tomatillos over and requested that I make her green salsa so she can use it to make enchiladas.
I told her I never use that many tomatillos, etc, etc. She insisted.
Worst salsa I've ever tasted and it isn't even close.
She said it tastes perfect lmao.
I didn't get a chance to try the enchiladas…

Double the peppers and it’s what I made this weekend. Love it
Let it sit for a day
not enough garlic tbh
It’s interesting to see the chicken bouillon and realize how many vegetarians eat salsa that might have the meat juice.
I’m not criticizing your recipe, but I never realized that bouillon goes into salsa.
I made my first salsa verde from scratch the other day! I didn’t roast anything, i boiled the tomatillos, onions, and peppers instead and it was amazing.
What made that salsa bad? Too acidic? Too bitter? Too tomatillo-ey?
Too much tomatillo
Looks like you may have cooked the green stuff too long. Also, when Mexican salsa recipes call for chicken bouillon, it’s the powder. The liquid stock you got there has an assortment of spices and veggies included in the stock and is missing the key ingredient for the bouillon going in the salsa – msg. So try less cook time and a powder bouillon with msg like knor or magi.
What was the issue, not spicy enough?
Overcooked tf out of those tomatillos that’s why case closed. The ratio of everything is looking good, possibly the broth too I don’t trust that “spicy”
I think cilantro would kick that salsa up a notch. Not sure you needed the broth, especially if you captured lol the juice from the pan.
Have you tried to let it ferment in a nice, clean jar to use the acidity to your advantage? That’s what I would’ve done. But I’m fermentably freaky.
No salt?
The first time I made a verde salsa with homegrown vegetables I used both Tomatillos and Ground Cherry Tomatoes and I will never do that again. The end product was way too sweet for my taste, to give it some credit though all my coworkers could handle it and they liked it but I pretty much gave it all away.
