Description

This delicious fermented green salsa recipe includes spicy jalapenos, fresh garlic, green tomatillos, onion, and cilantro.

It’s easier than you think to make some life-changing fermented salsas at home!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a clean glass jar with a lid, add the jalapenos, tomatillos, white onion, and garlic cloves.
  2. In a separate container, whisk together the water and Kosher salt until the salt is fully dissolved.
  3. Press the vegetables down in the container, and cover with the salt water brine. Make sure the vegetables are submerged below the surface of the brine. Cover the contents with a tight-fitting lid.
  4. Allow the contents to ferment at room temperature in a dark spot for roughly four days, opening the jar every day to ensure the built-up gas and pressure can escape, and also to ensure that your contents stay submerged below the surface of the brine.
  5. When you are ready to serve the salsa, discard half of the liquid brine and blend the contents until smooth with the remaining brine, the fresh cilantro, and the fresh lime juice.
  6. Taste the mixture, and add more lime juice, cilantro, or salt if desired.
  7. Serve at room temperature.

Note

You can adjust the heat levels here to your preference. Remove the seeds and white veins from the insides of the jalapeno peppers before fermenting if you prefer a salsa that is less spicy.
