Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees, or the broil setting.
- Toss the garlic cloves in a bit of oil and salt, then wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Set into the oven and bake for a total of 20 minutes.
- Slice tomatillos and poblano peppers (or other peppers, if using) in half lengthwise and set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides up.
- Set into oven and bake for 12 minutes. Be sure not to get too close to the top heating element or the tops will burn too much.
- Remove all items from the oven and cool slightly. Peel the pepper skins away and discard.
- Place tomatillos, chili peppers, roasted garlic, cilantro, and lime juice into a food processor. Process until smooth.
- Salt to taste and serve!
Notes
- I like to strain my table sauce a little but so it isn’t quite so chunky, but that is your personal choice. If you strain too much, you’ll be left with a much thinner sauce. I like to have a bit of character in my table sauce.
