Roasted Tomatillo Poblano Pepper Salsa (Salsa Verde)
Picture above shows Roasted Tomatillo Poblano Pepper Salsa, a green salsa made with tomatillos, poblano peppers, serrano peppers, cilantro, garlic, and onions. This recipe is perfect as a salsa dip, and can also be used as a sauce for enchiladas.
The important part of this recipe is roasting all of the vegetables, which gives a really good taste to the salsa. I used this recipe to make enchiladas verdes. Making fresh salsa is not only healthier, but also tastes better than any canned salsa you can buy in the store.
