This simple summer tomatillo salsa will get your motor running! It’s tangy and fresh tasting, a nice change from tomato based salsas that’s easy to whip up on a Sunday and put on everything from eggs to hamburgers the rest of the week! Roasting and broiling the ingredients make for a slightly sweeter, more mellow salsa.
Simple Summer Salsa
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 to 8 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1/2 large onion, cut into pieces
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T sugar
- 1 roasted jalapeno
Instructions
- Roast the tomatillos under a broiler for five minutes on each side or until slightly blackened

This is great anywhere you would use salsa, with chips (and cheese), on tacos or chili rellenos or tamales… well, you get the picture!

That sounds absolutely delicious, but I must say, the brown is a bit odd for a salsa.
This looks wonderful. I would love it on pita chips.
I could totally go for some of that!
What an intriguing recipe! I’ve never cooked with tomatillas before but it’s getting warmer here 😉
Oh, yummy!
I am fascinated by the addition of peanuts to the salsa, but it sounds delicious, and not just for summer, either!!!
I can’t eat hot peppers but I can share – so I sent this link to my son, my niece and my nephew. They all love HOT HOT HOT!
Wonderful post, as always!
The peanut addition is interesting. And I like the sound and looks of the recipe. Bayless is brilliant.
Ah ! It seems so yummy ! I’m just afraid about japaleno … My mouth could burn !!
This one is definitely getting a whir! I love tomatillos and have never thought of adding peanuts to the mix…sounds amazing though!! Thanks for sharing so many great recipes!
Sounds like it’d be perfect for enchiladas.
Looks positively yummy!
I’ve never put peanuts in my salsa before. But I love all kinds of nuts, so I would probably like this! Thanks for the suggestion! {:-D
What an interesting recipe! peanuts, huh? very inventive! I can imagine this is delicious!
We love salsa so I am enjoying this and can smell as the wonderful ingridients melding together! Sigh!
The peanuts were a surprise!! All sounds delicious!
I was quite surprised by the peanuts!
I often make green salsa so I’m going to try adapting my recipe next time!
Thanks for another super sounding recipe!
