Hot Salsa Verde


Sharing is caring!

This salsa.

Is so worth all the chopping. You could always use your food processor to prevent the cilantro getting all up under your nails like it did mine.

I promise it’s cilantro. This was adapted from Serious Eats. It’s a combination of poblano peppers, serrano peppers, tomatillos and sour cream. I added jalapenos, of course, but you don’t have to. Things I learned after making this three times (it was quite popular the first time I made it):

  • Don’t skimp on the tomatillos.
  • Don’t use low fat sour cream.
  • Dig the cilantro out of your damn nails before taking pictures.

The first time I made this it was for a Christmas dinner party I hosted with Stephanie from Plain Chicken, Jill from Cooking What I Pin, Karen from The Little Pearl, Tina from Regional Musician, Mary, Becky and Heather.

Obviously, we had some laughs that night. These girls are so much fun!

Oh, and look, I made calzones and dipped mine in it.

Such a beautiful hot mess.

I’ve think I’m gonna make chicken enchiladas with this sauce baked on top. Or beef! This stuff is good.
