A vibrant and flavorful green salsa perfect for tacos, chips, or as a zesty topping.
Cut the stems off the jalapeños and place them in a small pot.
Removing the seeds can help control the heat level of the salsa.
Add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot.
Garlic adds a robust flavor; adjust the quantity to your preference.
Pour in about 1/4 cup of water to create a steaming effect.
Ensure the water doesn't cover the jalapeños completely; steaming preserves their flavor.
Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and steam for about 15 minutes.
Cover the pot with a lid to retain the steam and cook evenly.
Transfer the steamed jalapeños and garlic to a blender.
Allow the ingredients to cool slightly before blending to avoid pressure buildup.
Add the crushed bouillon cube, salt, olive oil, and the juice of one lime to the blender.
Blend until smooth for a consistent texture, or pulse for a chunkier salsa.
Blend until smooth, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed for balance.
Serve the salsa in a bowl and enjoy with your favorite dishes.
Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for presentation.
