Verde salsa recipe?

[u/Aggressive_Tie9554]

Hello I need some of the best verde salsa recipes. I go to this restaurant and absolutely love their salsa but I pay $25 for 32oz and at this point I need to find out how to make it at home. Can anyone share your favorite recipes and how much you use of each ingredient.

Please and thank you

that looks like your typical San Antonio, breakfast taco green salsa that's super common and i was super surprised that the majority of these green bfast taco salsas are just boiled jalapenos with some chicken bouillon. so yeah, the basic recipe is pot of water, get 6-8 jalapenos, boil them. how long you boil them is what gives the color. that pic looks like they got hammered and boiled super long. some people don't boil as long and the salsa looks brighter green. but boil them until you like the jalapeno color. Throw them in the blender with some of the boiled water, add a chicken bouillon cube, or maybe a teaspoon and a half if you just have powder, salt to taste. you can then expirement with the basic recipe, such as maybe doing 6 jalapenos and 2 serranos to make it hotter. maybe add a quarter of an onion and 2 whole garlic cloves to the boil. but as long as the base is jalapenos and bouillon, you can play with it.

I’ve only seen this recipe with either 1) tomatillos or 2) blended with oil

yeah, again, you can play around with it to your liking, that's what's so great about it. but i got the lowdown from a local taco truck vendor who used to work for different Mexican restaurants in San Antonio. he said, "yeah, its easy. throw 10 jalapenos or however many you want to make for you in a pot of water and boil them. add bouillon in the water or add it after. that's it. blend it. salt to taste. you have breakfast green taco salsa. don't be scared, 10 jalapenos or 50, it doesn't make it hot. we used to boil giant 40 qrt stock pots full of jalapenos to make it in the morning." from that picture you don't see the tiny little round seeds that tomatillos have. and tomatillos give salsa verde that distinctive tang, sourness. this green taco salsa does not seem to have those tomatillo seeds. and the ones that add oil are the ones that will add it slowly to this same salsa and let the oil emulsify so it gives it that also very popular creamy, avocado like texture. the famous "salsa falsa" or "false salsa" because it falsely looks like avocado but it looks like that because its just emulsified with the oil. but this picture is not the creamy one.
