Salsa Verde, the versatile green sauce made from tomatillos, brings the essence of Mexico to the plate and refines numerous recipes.
What's behind it?
As part of Simply Tasty's Mexican theme week, the spotlight is on salsa verde, a sauce that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine with its vibrant green color and complex flavor.
Made from tomatillos - small, green fruits that add a tart note and are more closely related to the physalis than to the traditional tomato - green chilies, fresh coriander, onions and garlic, it offers a perfect balance of acidity and spiciness.
Their versatility is expressed in a range of traditional dishes: tacos, filled with a selection of ingredients, are given a refreshing depth of flavor by the salsa verde;
Enchiladas, classic corn tortillas that are dipped in the sauce, stuffed and then baked, are characterized by their juicy, flavorful filling.
Carnitas, tender, slow-cooked pork, is perfectly complemented by the sour note of the sauce, and even chilaquiles, a breakfast classic made from lightly fried tortilla strips cooked in salsa verde and often served with eggs and cheese, offer a hearty taste experience.
Sopas, small, thick tortillas with a depression in the middle filled with various toppings, are also given an added layer of flavorful complexity with a dollop of salsa verde.

Mexican guacamole, with its intense green color, forms a creamy complement to salsa verde and combines ripe avocados with lime juice, onions and cilantro to create a perfect accompaniment to chips and tacos.
As a contrast to the hearty menu, churros from the hot air fryer round off the offering.
This lighter version of the classic pastry, dusted with sugar and cinnamon, offers a crunchy, sweet finish that showcases the diversity of Mexican cuisine.
