This was delicious - just like the restaurants. I didn't have fresh oregano so I used half the amount of dried. I thought it worked great.

Finding a 6-lb can of crushed tomatillos at a ridiculous price gave me the incentive to try this for canning. I changed the amounts more or less proportionately, used 4 medium seeded jalapenos instead of serrano, omitted the oregano, and used white vinegar instead of water (2 cups for the whole batch). I substituted canning salt for the regular salt. Though I was loathe to do it, I had to add sugar to balance the tartness, but it was fabulous. I'd recommend waiting until you've blended the salsa before tweaking the seasonings. I didn't feel it needed the chicken broth, so I didn't add it. Even my son, who loves salsa, but hates "chunks" likes this.

Yummy! I, too, did what Nina L suggested and blended all, adding chicken stock and blending all ingredients then cooking for 15 mins. SOOOOOO Yummy! I hated Mexican food but now trying authentic stuff, I am getting used to it!

This was pretty good but if you like heat you will have to add 2 or 3 jalapenos to get the heat. I also had to increase the salt by quite a bit and I added two pinches of sugar. The final result was good.

My family prefers this over any restaruant's sauce. I add a dash of vinegar for an added level of flavor.

I had to cater a Mexican BBQ for 60 people, and wanted to give them authentic salsas instead of the usual. This was one of them. Even people who thought it was guacamole, (yes, there were a few), and ones who never had it, loved it. Not as hot or spicy as you might expect. It is so fresh tasting with all the great things that go into it. I had jalapeno, so that was what I used. I had leftovers, and have been using it all week. Froze some in individual bags for future. Try it.

This recipe was absolutely yummy! I poured it over enchiladas and I have to say that it added alot of flavor. My husband really loved it! Next time I won't add the water like some of the other reviewers suggested, and allow it to create it's own juices. Won't go back to jarred salsa ever again!!

I modified this to make it into "salsamole". I used red onions, subbed some of the water with chicken broth, and added a diced Anaheim pepper to the simmering mix. Once it was liquefied in the blender, I added an avocado. It came out delicious!

I followed the advice of others and only added 1/2 cup of water, I added lime juice, another pepper. But I wish I would have left the Cumin out. I will make it again with out that and see if I like it better. Thanks.

Wow! Fantastic salsa and so simple. I used a tablespoon of canned jalapenos instead of the serrano and added 1/4 cup lime juice. We mixed this with chopped grilled chicken for some killer verde enchiladas. We will be bottling this recipe next summer.

Great way to use the 5 pounds of tomatillos that a friend dropped off. I subbed cilantro for oregano and added lime juice and a few cherry tomatoes. Wanted to suit our family's tastes as well as use up some stuff in the house. EDIT for FREEZING: I froze 2 quart-sized containers of the salsa and thawed one out the other day. The taste was so fresh. We ate some as is and then mixed with some fresh (red) salsa I had made for a party.

I also found there was too much liquid and not enough fire. But quite good and next time I'll increase chiles and greatly reduce the water. As another reviewer suggested, I might cook down the tomatillos first, then add remaining ingredients while processing to better control the amount of liquid. UPDATE: I cooked the tomatillos in a small amount of water, then blended a few of them with the remaining ingredients (with much hotter chiles), added the rest of the tomatillos and pulsed just enough to blend. Excellent!!

I reduced the amount of water and pureed it with an immersion blender. I also like to add frozen corn kernels. I use this as green enchilada sauce for shrimp & crab enchiladas.

I have made this salsa a couple times this summer and have been freezing some of it for the winter. The only issue I had the first time I made it was that its really thin when you add all the water. So I cut it down to two tablespoons of water and let the liquid from the tomatillos simmer out. now its perfect

Awesome! I boiled the tomitillo until tender (about 10 minutes), then drained them. I returned them to the pot and added the peppers (cherry and banana), onion and garlic and cooked another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the tomitillo. I then placed this in a blender, adding the juice of one lime, grated lime zest, fresh oregano, salt and curry (I didn’t have any cilantro on hand). This was sooo good we didn’t wait until it cooled. After placing in the refrigerator overnight, it jelled up and tastes even better cold.

Update: I make this all the time for get-togethers and people love it. I now refer to it as "my famous salsa verde". It will taste very spicy after it is first made, but mellows out overnight. I omitted the oregeno, the cumin, the water and used an extra pepper, extra cilantro, and added the juice of 1 lime. I also used reviewer Nina's technique of putting all the ingredients in the food processor first, then cooking for a few minutes. It's super easy to make and quite spicy. Plus, it tastes very similar to the salsa verde from my favorite taco cart. Yum!

So tasty. I had to use dried jalepenos (ground up in the food processor) due to the pepper salmonella scare,but it was still tasty. So easy and good. Mine was not watery once it sat for a bit.

Delicious! It needed to simmer for 30-40 mins, though, to make it less watery.
