Spicy Serrano Salsa Verde

Step 1

Remove tomatillos from husks and wash to remove the sticky residue.

Step 2

Add tomatillos and serrano to saucepot and add water.

Step 3

Boil on high heat for 15 minutes, until tomatillos and serrano are cooked through and turned a more yellow color.

Step 4

Allow boiled tomatillos and serrano, in their cooking liquid, to cool down.

Step 5

Add boiled tomatillos and serrano to the blender with ¼ cup of the cooking liquid, chiles de árbol, cilantro and salt.

Step 6

Blend for 30-60 seconds, until completely blended and smooth.

Step 7

Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately or allow flavors to sit in the fridge (cover the bowl) for a few hours.

Step 8

Reminder: salsas get spicier as they sit, so while the habanero mango salsa may be mild or medium to begin with, it may get to a more hot level of heat over time.
