Taqueria Green Salsa (Salsa Verde) image

This is not like the tex mex green salsa you encounter at big chains that contain avacados or tomatillos. This is a more of a taqueria style sauce that you find in local mexican meat markets. I liked the sauce so much that I asked the waitress at a taqueria if she knew how to make it and she asked a person in the back and was fortunate enough to get an answer. It is VERY spicy.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb jalapenos or 10 jalapenos
5 -6 fresh garlic cloves, peeled
1 knorr chicken bouillon cube
1 cup water
1/4 cup oil
salt

Steps:

  • Cut the stems off the jalapenos and throw them in a small pot.
  • Remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy.
  • Add peeled garlic.
  • Add a small amount a water, about 1/4 cup or a little more to get a steam effect.
  • Place on stove at a low medium heat to get it steaming for about 15 minute.
  • Add contents to a blender and add oil and blend until smooth.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • You may need to adjust salt, water, and chicken cubes to suit the taste because jalapenos are not all uniform in taste depending on the season.
  • I used olive oil but I doubt a mexican restaurant uses olive oil.
