Pico de gallo con tomatillo

Ingredientes

• 4-5 tomatillos
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 serrano pepper (or jalapeno)
• 15-20 sprigs cilantro
• juice of 1/2 lime (plus more to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   De-husk the tomatillos and give them a good rinse. I usually de-stem them as well.

2. 2

   Be sure to give the cilantro a good rinse as well. I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portions of the cilantro stems, but keep the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.

3. 3

   Rinse and de-stem the serrano. For a milder version, start with only 1/2 of the serrano.

4. 4

   Chop up the tomatillos, serrano, cilantro, and the peeled 1/2 onion. Combine everything in a mixing bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of 1/2 lime. Give it a taste and add more salt or lime until it tastes right to you.

5. 5

   Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
