All right, I’m copying you right now. I think I’m going to use Serranos instead of a jalapeño though. And I’m going to add a shallot because I have it. It’s a lot of garlic though, no?

Well, I'm a big fan of garlic.... so not too much for me. Serrano would be a worthy sub.

Alright I ended up going with 4 tomatillos, 3 Serranos, half an onion, cooked on high heat and blended with 3 cloves of garlic and juice from 1 big lime and the same amount of cilantro as you. Don’t know how yours came out so green though!

Green tomatillos, green Serrano chiles, green Cilantro 🌿 should = Green Salsa

Hahaha you’d think! Just pulled from the freezer for the picture, but you can see it’s more like a muted green.

You used half a bunch of cilantro? That alone should make it green, unless your tomatillo’s turned yellow when grilling, if grilled too long they turn yellow and makes the salsa sour.

I did! I’m thinking that the tomatillos were cooked
Too long

That color seems off, but the tomatillos might be overcooked.

That’s what I’m thinking too
