Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb green tomatoes
- 2 scallions
- ⅓ cup cilantro
- 2 medium serrano peppers
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1½ tablespoon lime juice
- 1¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and core green tomatoes to remove stems and leaves, then slice into quarters. Add to a food processor.
- Roughly chop 1 scallion, 1 serrano pepper, most of the cilantro, and all of the garlic. Add to food processor along with lime juice. Pulse until the salsa reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt.
- Pour green tomato salsa into a bowl and mix in some thinly sliced green onion, serrano pepper, and roughly chopped cilantro. This adds texture and visual appeal.
Storage Instructions
- Since this is a small batch recipe, I recommend storing the salsa in a few 8-ounce mason jars. If you make a larger batch, you can freeze some in freezer bags to enjoy later!
Notes
- This would be a good time to taste your green tomato salsa to see if any adjustments need to be made. Is it salty enough? Does it need more lime juice? Make adjustments as necessary.
- I like salsa with texture, which is why I hold some ingredients back and hand-slice them to mix into the blended salsa. If you prefer a smoother texture, add all the ingredients to the food processor at once.
- If you like a thinner salsa, you can mix in a small amount of water.
- Store salsa in an airtight container such as a mason jar and refrigerate for a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- You can also try roasting the tomatoes, onions, and peppers in the oven before blending them.
