Tart and fiery, this classic bright-green salsa shows off the flavor of tomatillos and the lovable grassy sharpness of fresh unripe chiles. Serve it with anything that would benefit from lively contrast, such asChopped Fried-Fish Tacos.
Ingredients
Makes about 1½ cups
Put the tomatillos in a blender first, then add the remaining ingredients. Pulse a few times, then blend until the salsa is very smooth, at least 1 minute. Season to taste with additional chile and salt, and blend again.
Want a more velvety version with the same thrilling flavors? Just double the amount of chiles, bump up the salt by ½ teaspoon, add ½ cup water, and scoop in the flesh of a large, ripe Hass avocado before you blend.

Amazing with tons of flavor and can be spiced up with additional peppers. This will surely top my fish tacos perfectly tonight!
