I usually have two tomatillos and a large red tomato in a batch of salsa. Dice and throw into the mix just like you use tomatoes. They look like small green tomatoes and have a paper thin covering around them. Water doesn’t clean that from your hands, rubbing alcohol does.Īlso, to get a more authentic flavor dice a couple of tomatillos into the salsa. Wear gloves and don’t touch your eyes, even hours after you work with the hot peppers of any type. You cab adjust the heat by keeping or removing the seeds and veins. My rule of thumb is one medium seedless and veinless Serrano is mild, three with seeds and veins is spicy. They are a bit more powerful and spicy so you have to be careful and experiment with how hot you want the salsa to get. Instead of using jalapeno peppers, use Serrano peppers for a better flavor.
