Quick question for all the salsa experts out there! I’m trying to decide whether to boil or roast tomatillos for my salsa. Which method brings out the best flavor according to your experience? I’m aiming for the most delicious result!

Hey there! If you want a deeper, slightly smoky flavor in your salsa, roasting is the way to go! Roasting tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a bit of char, which adds a nice depth to the salsa. Boiling, on the other hand, keeps the flavor more mild and tangy but can end up a bit watery. So if you’re after bold and rich flavors, roast those tomatillos!

Hey everyone! I think roasting is the way to go! It brings out a nice smoky flavor in the tomatillos, though boiling keeps it fresher. Depends on the vibe you’re after!
