Fiery Salsa Verde: A Fresh Green Sauce with Superhots

Salsa verde has long been a staple in kitchens across the globe. Bright, tangy, and full of flavor, it’s the perfect partner for tacos, grilled meats, or even a quick chip-dipping session. At HellFire Farms, we like to turn up the heat — and that means giving this classic sauce a fiery twist with our homegrown superhot peppers. 🌶️🔥

Whether you’re looking to spice up your taco Tuesday or wow your friends at the next cookout, this Fiery Salsa Verde delivers freshness with a kick.

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed

• 2–3 HellFire Farms superhot peppers (Death Spiral, JP Piranha, or your favorite green variety — adjust to heat tolerance)

• 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled

• ½ medium white onion

• ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

• Juice of 1 lime

• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for a smoother finish)

Instructions

1. Roast the base – Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and peppers on a baking sheet. Broil on high until charred (about 5–7 minutes), flipping once.

2. Blend it up – Transfer roasted ingredients to a blender or food processor. Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

3. Adjust consistency – For a thicker salsa, blend less. For a smoother sauce, add a splash of water or olive oil.

4. Taste & tweak – Add more lime for brightness, or a pinch more salt if needed.

5. Cool & serve – Let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors (and the heat!) to fully bloom.

Serving Suggestions

• Spoon over tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

• Drizzle on grilled chicken, steak, or seafood.

• Mix into guacamole for a spicy twist.

• Use as a base for fiery enchiladas.

HellFire Tip

If you want to tame the fire slightly, mix one roasted jalapeño or poblano into the blend along with your chosen superhot. This keeps the flavor complex while making it more crowd-friendly.
