We made a few changes from others suggestions – not using a red tomato because it gives a brown color. We used all green tomatoes, added cumin, diced garlic & a little liquid smoke which took it to the top. We will reduce the lime just and cilantro because it was to much. This was great with chips, but wanted for our enchilada’s. Plan on making more with left over green tomatoes from garden since we’ve had several frosts now.
This was too spicy for me, but my son thought it was good. I only used one jalapeno (because it was kind of big) and reduced the lime juice by half. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to seed the jalapeno after it cooked so I didn’t. Maybe that’s why it is so spicy.
I used all ingredients as specified and it did not taste good. I made salsa verde before and that was truly delicious. I think the tomatillos is what you need and green tomatoes are just not good for salsa verde.
Super easy! First time ever making salsa and everyone devoured it at the football party. will be making it soon. Not sure if it’s worth refrigerating afterwards. A lot of liquid settled on top, so I tossed it. Only reason that I’m giving 4 stars. But it was yummy right after!
Thanks to whoever posted it is about 1 lb tomatoes. Added 1 clove garlic and 1 tsp cumin as some recommended and it is Outstanding.
Really enjoyed this – bright and versatile. Served with chips or chicken , this puts those lingering green tomatoes to good use. I added a pinch of chili powder since my jalapeno wasn’t very spicy.
Didn’t follow proportion as I had too many tomatoes and not enough of every thing else and we still loved !
Made as per recipe. Very good. Thanks!
Finally found a good recipe for green tomatoes. Don’t like the m fried. Very nice salsa flavor. I’ll make again.
This was my first attempt at a green salsa verde. We have a lot of green tomatoes from our garden and I wanted to treat them as tomatillos. This was perfect!! I added 1 clove of garlic. I did not have fresh cilantro and that would have bumped up the flavors in my salsa but even with using dried cilantro the flavor was excellent and extremely easy to make. Plus I’m thrilled my green tomatoes were not wasted.
I added green peppers , minced garlic, and two habanero’s… the kids loved it and it was spicy and delish!!
This was so easy to make and very tasty!
After reading this recipe, I turned my bread & butter green tomatoes into salsa verde! I changed the proportions, but it came out great. Onion, garlic & cumin too.
I make this every year. It’s our favorite!
Great simple recipe!! I added 1 more jalapeño for spice and it’s hottttt. This worked great with my pulled pork carnitas and it’s simple going to try with some corn chips also. 🙂
The salsa turned out really well. It has a lot of flavor and the consistency was great. I added 1 clove of garlic and 1 tsp. of sugar. The recipe did not state if the tomatoes should be peeled after boiling but other reviewer mentioned peeling them. I did go ahead and do that.
I added a couple cloves of garlic for a taste. Ends up full of flavor. It is a great way to use up the green tomatoes left on your plant at the end of the season.
Very easy to make and a great way to use up those stubborn end of season tomatoes that just won’t turn. Tastes very similar to salsa verde made with tomatillos.
This is a great starter recipe for making Salsa Verde, and since I’ve gotten quite a few green tomatoes from the garden this is a good, convenient recipe. I wouldn’t recommend eating raw green tomatoes since they can cause GI distress. I have roasted the jalapenos, onions and tomatoes before puree-ing, added garlic and cumin as well, but the recipe is good as-is.
This is the first time I’ve made green tomato salsa. It was delicious!! I omitted the pepper and added fresh cloves of garlic. YUM!
I do not understand how people can give the recipe 5 stars and say I did not use your ingredients or recipe but here is my recipe and it was great. I used your recipe. I have green tomatoes and cannot buy tomatillas where I live. This was good but did not perfect yet.
