Homemade Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde–
Homemade Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde is an easy to make, paleo, low carb, very flavorful salsa or sauce recipe.
Homemade Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde is easy to make but is a very flavorful salsa or sauce recipe. A paleo, low carb, keto salsa that also makes an excellent sauce on chicken, pork, fish or shrimp as well as the perfect condiment for my Low Carb Paleo Dipping Chips, or in these Shrimp Salsa Verde Salad Boats and my Slow Cooker Low Carb Paleo Tacos.
Did you know that tomatillos are not the same green tomatoes? They are not a tomato at all and are from a different plant. While both are members of the nightshade family, green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes that can come from any variety of tomato plant, while tomatillos are a fruit of a different plant, and they are covered with papery husks.
It is so simple to make fresh, homemade roasted tomatillo salsa verde and it is such a versatile dip or sauce with amazing flavors of roasted garlic, jalapenos, tomatillos, and cilantro.
Gluten free, grain free, healthy and fresh, this is sauce is also excellent on pork for making Chile Verde, and also on shredded chicken, shrimp, or fish tacos.
I also love it on eggs for breakfast. And, of course, it is simply wonderful as a dip for my low carb chips!
