So I’m still new to making salsa and am still experimenting quite a bit. This is my first time making salsa verde, and wanted to add my own twist – a kick. Boy did I underestimate the power of my peppers! This one is SPICY! Not only did I sub out jalapenos for yellow chilis, but I added in 4 habaneros. Oops. I still want a kick, but maybe I will stick to only 1 or 2 habaneros next time. Besides the heat, it tastes great!
Recipe:
12 tomatillos
3 yellow chili
4 habanero
half an onion
6 garlic cloves
10 sprigs of cilantro
olive oil
salt
about a cup of water
Boiled the tomatillos for about 15 minutes, and roasted the rest for about 20 minutes.

Dogg. Way too hot lol. Make a batch of regular salsa Verde , of equal size, and mix it 50/50 with this spice bomb lol
Content with a complete absence of duck equals immediate and unconditional upvote.
Did you consider vinegar or any other acid to try and cut the heat?
That’s a lot of habaneros ! Damn!
Try roasting the tomatillos next time too!
If you still want the Habanero taste without all the extra heat you can deseed and devein them. It works really well, just adds a hint of spicy that way. Probably about the same as a jalapeño with the seeds still in
Also pro tip, canned tomatillos work just as good without affecting the taste. Much easier though, and you can still blacken them in the broiler
Looks good though!
Good
Really good green salsa is the hardest to make imo. I’m still working on mine.
