Tomatillo Salsa

This vibrant tomatillo salsa is a refreshing vegan staple that brings a zesty, bright lift to any Mexican-inspired spread. Known for their unique tartness, fresh tomatillos are gently simmered with serrano chillies and garlic to create a beautifully balanced sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice and coriander at the final stage ensures the flavour profile remains crisp and aromatic, offering a much more complex taste than any shop-bought alternative.

Perfect as a healthy dip for tortilla chips or drizzled over tacos and roasted vegetables, this versatile green salsa is naturally low in fat and packed with nutrients. Because it is simmered briefly in a frying pan, the sharp acidity of the raw fruit mellows into a sophisticated, savoury sauce. Serve it at room temperature to allow the citrus and herb notes to fully shine.
