Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed, about 1 pound
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 1 Small Onion, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro, packed
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven broiler.
  2. Place tomatillos, garlic, and onion on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 10 minutes, then cool.
  4. Puree all ingredients in a food processor.
  5. Serve with tortilla chips or over grilled fish/chicken.

Notes

- For extra heat, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the baking sheet with the tomatillos and roast it as well. Remove the seeds for less spice.
- If you don't have a broiler, you can roast the tomatillos, garlic, and onion in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, until softened and slightly charred.
- This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
