Charred Salsa Verde with Heat
Charred Salsa Verde with Heat brings a bright, tangy punch from roasted tomatillos balanced by the gentle smokiness of blistered poblanos and the kick of serranos. Flecks of cilantro and a hint of garlic round it out with fresh, herbal notes. Serve with tortilla chips, spoon over tacos, or drizzle on grilled meats when you want a lively, roasted green salsa.

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Place the poblano peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot grill, and cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the pepper skins are evenly charred and blackened and the tomatillos have turned pale yellow and begun to release juice, about 10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill.

Scrape off most of the charred pepper skin, cut off the stems, slice the peppers lengthwise, and remove the seeds.

Put the onion and garlic in a food processor bowl and pulse about 4 times to chop. Add the peppers and pulse 4 times to roughly chop, then add the tomatillos and salt. Pulse 4 or more times until as smooth as you like, and stir in the cilantro.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
