I made this yesterday. I adjusted the ingredients because I had twelve tomatillos so here is what I did: 12 tomatillos 5 cloves of garlic 2 jalapenos (seeded and deveined one of them) Salt, onion, cilantro to taste. I let it set up in the fridge for twelve hours then spooned it on a piping hot chorizo, egg and cheese breakfast taco. It was extremely delicious! Thanks for the video!

Yes! This is indeed, the best salsa ever. Hands down.🤤

I recently moved to South Dakota from California. I took a chance, and grew Tomatillos. They are growing like crazy, and everyone who comes to visit wonders what, "those things" are. I can't wait to introduce them to these amazing flavors!

I moved from SoCal to north Idaho few years ago. Some stores sell them but the cashiers tell me I’m the only one who every buys them haha

My great-grandparents had a fonda near Rosario Durango, about 1 mile from Pancho Villa’s hacienda. When Villa and his men came to eat he would order chiles rellenos de queso chihuahua for all. My family passed down the recipes and my family’s cooking has always been good, but your recipes and southern Mexico style is simply great. Now I got my mom and aunts watching your channel Chef! Mexico’s cuisine is simply the best!

Rinsing the onion! What a wonderful and logical Tip!

Just watching him stir it all in...was so satisfying 😢😅

That is perfect! I learned how to make this in Mexico and that is exactly how to make authentic tomatillo salsa.

I've always loved this flavor from Mexican restaurants, but I didn't know what it was. Once I saw this video's thumbnail, I knew I had to make it. This was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to make and absolutely delicious.

I love this recipe, & love the tanginess of tomatillos! This year I grew 6 massive tomatillo plants, producing a bumper crop of fruit. Grew purple tomatillos & green tomatillos.

@@carloszenteno Yes, I made raw uncooked salsa Verde, and also a cooked roasted version of it with both types of tomatillos mixed together. Not many of the 'purple' ones turned purple most stayed a green color, although both types were delicious regardless of color. I have a ton of cooked salsa still stored away in my freezer 😋Yum!

This recipe is fantastic! I roasted the jalapeños, Serranos and Habeneros separately because my wife doesn't tolerate heat very well. She loved her mild and I mixed in a tbs of the heat to make the best Spanish omelet I ever ate. Thanks, Rick.

OMG! My favorite salsa verde ever. Saw this recipe decades ago on PBS.

Tomatillo, and hatch chilie salsa, is my favorite

My husband did not like the tomatillio salsa till I made the way i learned from you,actually made it for Enchiladas , added some delicious flavor instead of just the hatch chile..☺👍

I love your videos and recipes. I am in love with all these salsa recipes. Thank you for sharing.

Whats up Rick - Thank you for bringing your expertise to my house via youtube. I really enjoy your episodes. I have made many of your recipes and am more inspired each time I bring one together. Mexican food is my favorite and I really enjoy escaping reality by learning from you. Thank you Sir!

You are a treasure, Chef! Thanks for another wonderful salsa recipe!

Right on. It is my cheat code when I'm not in the mood to make it fresh

This is unbelievably wonderful, used on fish, fried eggs, anything…my new ketchup!

I love this one, I remember learning it from you years ago and I make it often. Thank you, chef!

Thanks for the recipe Chef. Your tomatillo salsa reminds me so much of a dinner many years ago in Torreón. Huge bowls of hot, fresh chiharron, tangy tomatillo salsa and pit-cooked lamb covered with fresh avocado leaves. Everything was incredible but the salsa was the star of the show. I wish I could recreate that dinner but I’m a lot better at eating than chef-ing!

Made this yesterday with my garden tomatillos and it was out of this world!

Rick is one of the persons thst got me to love cooking through watching his shows when i was younger.he made it fun,educational and did his videos in mexico.i am part latino,and english though but i am not mexican but ww do have some mexican influences foodwise,and so its a treat to watch this master at work.

I grew some tomatillos for the first time this year and I picked some today. I am delighted to find this vid. Your recipe looks perfect. I shall try it!

I started growing tomatillos last summer and this is my go to salsa verde recipe! I roast half the onion quantity and add the other half brunoised and rinced, I also add a tbsp of lime juice and it’s just perfect! I freeze the tomatillos in 12oz portions so it’s always a breeze to make, thank you Mr. Bayless

I just made this and yes! it is supremely delectable - thank you!

I love this salsa! As someone who's been taught to boil the tomatillos, I prefer this method because it gives it so much flavor without compromising the tanginess of the classic style. Thanks, Chef Rick! Going to go make it right now to pair with some fried quesadillas. 🤤

It's one of my go-to salsas. Love it on my Carnitas Street Tacos I make.

Fantastic! My husband and I love tomatillo salsa and we like it spicy, so we doubled the ingredients and went for 2 large jalapenos and 2 large serranos. Outstanding! This will definitely be our go to recipe from now on. Thanks so much!

Thank you Rick Bayless. I just made this salsa, and it is awesome. What a vibrant flavor. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and by watching you, my skill set is at a new high. Thank you again.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is delicious 😋. Made some today 🎉. Thanks for the recipe, Rick.

Another winner 😊🙏🏻Chef Bayless

I have a few of his cooking books. Moved and can't find them at the moment. Take my word. This is the best. Thanks Rick

I am a big fan of yours!!! Always great recipes!!! Thank you!😊

I'll be smoking Pork El Pastor for a party this weekend. I can't think of a better salsa to go with it.

I always get so hungry looking at your videos! This looks so good. I don't think I've ever had tomatillo salsa, but this looks like something that can be easily made. Can't wait to try it!

Rick you are the man!

I make a big batch of salsa verde to can every year!

I think I must of seen this on your PBS show because this is exactly how I make salsa verde for years now. Simple and delicious.

Looks yummy ,,,,, good variation from the boiled salsa verde

Great instructions! My first time! Onion method blew my mind! Yes!! Thank you!

Made this today using your roasting method for all the ingredients. I added a couple of poblanos that I had in the fridge as well. Oh my gosh, it is amazing. I’ll serve it tomorrow with steak tacos using skirt steak. Will marinade as suggested in the steak taco video. Thanks Rick!! Keep the videos coming!!!

Can’t wait to try the broiled method. I’ve always done boiled ala DIana Kennedy, same ingredients. My favorite salsa also! Thanks Rick.

Looks very delicious my friend. Thank you!

The absolute best tomatillo salsa recipe I’ve ever had …. Thank you Chef !

That was dope! Thank you. Love the way you explained everything even while you were away and at the sink. Nicely done.

Thank You! I had a couple tomatillo plants pop up in my garden. Must have been from my compost. This video provided me with the perfect info for what to do with my abundant amount of tomatillos!❤️🙏

This is my favorite too!

I've started roasting garlic using the air fryer and then add it to my salsas. This tomatillo salsa looks good and I will definitely try it. Thanks!

Excellent! I usually griddle my veg. A staple at our house too! I grow tomatillos, I always give them away when they are in heavy production.

I grow yellow tomatillos every summer....love em....

Thank you for recipe and presentation.

Good stuff Rick, it is great that you are still active on youtube!!!

The same ingredients that I use for my salsa ! Always turn out great. The only difference is that I roast the onion with all the other ingredients. I have always blended mine to a smooth sauce, I will try it with a more course consistency . Thank you for sharing!

FWIW, I sometimes use a couple of alternative roasting/charring methods: One is a trusty cast iron skillet on the stovetop. I employ this when roasting a mix of different vegetables like you are doing here. Because it’s on the stovetop, I can easily adjust the position and roasting time for each individual vegetable with a pair of tongs. If I’m charring individual vegetables - in particular; chilies - I often use a household propane torch. It’s not the fastest method, but it provides very fine control that yields perfectly uniform roasting. Just my < $0.02 worth.

Oh after months of disappointing tomatillo trials from online recipes, I finally got a raw salsa that was tasty on Saturday. I grew one accidently last year, it was mismarked seedling at a the local nursery, so I had a lovely plant, but no tomatillos. I purposely, grew many (9) this year to 'try' them. I have a couple of gallons of them to process! This gives me more ideas/order of steps, like I think I could can before adding the onion and cilantro and keep the freshness when consumed. I now know I was not roasting nearly long enough. I think I may use confit garlic though, as it is made. Thank you for this!

Watched alot of tomatillo salsa recipes, I have to say, this one got my attention. Thank you chef, will be making this one soon. Thx

Ty, I'm going to make this. I'm glad I watched this, now I know to add the salt onion and cilantro last.

Great recipe, and very simple!

I’m going to try it,,,, looks delicious 😅

Thanks again Chef🧑‍🍳

Very good basic salsa base. I never heard of rinsing onions for salsa before. I would probably roast chive onions and add them to the salsa. So many ways to salsa, lol. 💃💃💃

I watched you and your daughter's TV shows avidly. So now I'll be following you on YT instead. I regard you as the authority on Mexican dishes. Looking for tomatillo salsa , so happy to see your channel in response to my search.

I like to roast them on the Weber over charcoal and include the onions in the roast and puree along with adding a Serrano pepper and a dash of roasted cumin powder. Really good.

I know this video was a while back but I found it 🤣, I’m making my fresh enchiladas (some cheese, some chicken & rice& etc) and I just harvested 2 lbs of tomatillos for this verde & I am using serranos & cilantro, roasted garlic I always have on hand, and occasionally a pinch of cumin if I am roasting & canning it. I make roasted enchilada sauce but I also like salsa verde to top them off & on tortilla chips on the side for the meal. This is turning out awesome! 👍

looks amazing

Love your videos

He's amazing as a former Chef all respect.

Just tried this absolutely love it I did add a roasted poblano along with it

This is fantastic! I grew an overabundance of tomatillos this year

I'm making some today thanks Rick

Looks delicious!

Well done. Thank you! Classic salsa presented straight forward. Sometimes, instead of thinning with water I’ll use a bit of apple cider vinegar, just to add an interesting contrast to the roasted sweetness.

I have been supporting and spreading the news of your revelation regarding the rinsing of diced onions for salsa… I thought it was brilliant until some Hispanic friends of mine stated “we have never seen a Mexican rinse an onion, ever”. So I feel kind of embarrassed. But it works. So I guess they are missing out.

Thanks For The Recipe

This is my absolute fave also, I prefer roasted also but in a pinch I'll boil once in a while.

I roast mine too, but I also roast the onion. Instead of salt, I add powdered chicken bouillon. It is so amazingly delicious!

Really easy, really good. Placed under scallops. Wonderful…

this is wonderful....thanks

Frontera's Tomatillo Salsa is available my local grocery store and it is the best salsa on the shelf by far.

We drove 9 hours. To go to Frontera restaurant ... demaciado Rico a mi novio le regale uno de tus libros para nuestro anniversario 💛

Rinsing the onion, brilliant!

Chicken enchiladas with tomatillo salsa *drool for days*

Nice, thanks!

We're going to try this this as soon as the tomatillos in our garden are ripe. We don't have a broiler or oven, so we'll roast them on the barbecue. Can't wait!

Made this salsa for a potluck today at it was big hit! Served with enchiladas.

I made this. It is full of yummy 😋

I remember your restaurant Red O at Fashion Island, the salsas there were AMAZING! I hope this is one of those... 🤩

This seems easy enough to prepare I'm going to try this with tacos carnitas, thanks Mr Bayless!
