    I’ve been letting my salsa creation urges out over the last week or so..

    9 Tomatillos

    1 each Serrano, Habañero & Jalapeño (Eta: all peppers were de-seeded)

    1 Whole white onion

    4 cloves of garlic

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    Salt

    I broiled all the goodies in the tray for about 20 minutes. I wrapped the garlic in a bit of foil so they would get nice and gooey.

    I took the broiled peppers and let them steam in a bowl for a bit so I could peel off most of the skin (I HATE tough pepper skins in my salsa).

    I threw everything in the Vitamix, pulsed it on medium speed until everything flowed, and them pureed everything until it was smooth.

    As always, I let it meld in the fridge overnight and them added salt and vinegar until it tasted right.

    Tasting note:

    Verdes are not my go-to salsa, but this is one of my better efforts. It’s really thick and creamy. Tart and a little sweet. Very fresh tasting. A slow onset burn, medium heat, not long lasting burn.
