Ingredients

  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 2 green jalapenos (optional)
  • 0.25 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 0.75 tsp salt
  • 0.5 Tbsp honey
  • 1 lime, juice only
  • 1 firm green kiwi, peeled
  • 0.5 tomato, finely diced
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Roughly dice the green bell peppers, green jalapenos, and onion. Reserve a quarter of the diced onion.
  2. Sauté the peppers and quarter onion in a skillet on high heat until lightly blistered and toasty. Then add them to the blender cup.
  3. Add raw onion, garlic, salt, honey, and lime juice to the blender cup.
  4. Blend everything until smooth, transfer to a container, and let it cool down.
  5. Finely dice a tomato and chop some cilantro.
  6. Mix the diced tomato and chopped cilantro into the cooled-down salsa. Adjust the salt level to taste.

Notes

Jalapeños are the ideal choice, but green bell peppers can be used as a substitute.

Tomatillos can be replaced with a firm, green kiwi in this recipe.
