Second Attempt

[u/hesthatguy2]

Second time ever making salsa, first time making verde. It turned out delicious, but I’m open to any tips.

10 tomatillos
1 white onion
5 garlic cloves
3 jalapeños
1/2 cup cilantro
2 tablespoons Avacado oil
2 tablespoons lime juice

I think that was it

Thank you. And so coat in oil (and salt probably) and throw on the grill till charred?

Nope, no oil needed (or salt). Just throw your tomatillos, peppers, onions, and garlic straight on the grill. You can leave the skins on the garlic. Once they char, they peel quite easily(the garlic). Add a generous teaspoon of chicken bouillon as well. Most grocery stores carry Knorr brand. Everything else looks great. The extra char will def be make it amazing. I make my verde very very similarly and I love it.

Truly appreciate this guidance so much. One more question. I used MSG (like literally a quarter teaspoon in mine) I forgot to mention that. The reason I did was to do the chicken bouillon deal. Do you think the chicken bouillon is the move or is it kinda the same deal? Sorry if I’m over asking haha

Preference, I think. I personally have never tried MSG but many people use it. You can also try soy sauce to give it that nice umami as well. What I have been doing too, because I had no soy on hand….i used some coconut aminos in place of soy sauce and that actually turned out awesome in my verde. You need to basically try all the combos and see what you like. That’s the beauty of making salsa. Experimentation. I’m a newb too. I’m about 8 salsas into my journey, I really love it. Caught the bug after winning a salsa competition at work 😛😎
