Tomatillo Salsa Verde

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb tomatillos

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 2 cloves garlic (or more)

  • ½ cup white onion, chopped

  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, minced

  • 2 jalapeño or serrano peppers, minced (for less heat, remove seeds/white inner ribs)

  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven broiler, and set oven rack about 6 inches from heating element.

  2. Remove the papery husks from the tomatillos and rinse well. Cut them in half and place the “cut side” down on a foil-lined baking sheet.

  3. Add a few garlic cloves (in their skin). Feel free to roast onions and peppers as well, or leave raw.

  4. Broil for about 5-7 minutes until most tomatillo skins are lightly blackened.

  5. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor, and pulse until you reach a fine texture.

  6. Season with salt to taste, and serve chilled.
