Ingredients
- 7 tomatillo husks removed and washed, medium
- 1 jalapeno pepper deseeded and cut in half
- 1 white onion peeled and quarter, medium
- 1 garlic cut in half horizontally, head
- lime juice juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves only no stems, fresh
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to 6 inches from the top and preheat your oven's broiler on high.
- Cut tomatillos in half and add them to a large rimmed baking sheet along with the deseeded jalepeño, quartered white onion, and halved garlic head, cut sides down.
- Broil the vegetables for 5-8 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through broiling to ensure there's no burning.
- Once the vegetables have a bit of char, take them out of the oven. Then add the roasted vegetables to a high powered blender or the bowl of a food processor. Make sure to squeeze the garlic from their skin, we don't want the skin in the salsa.
- Add the fresh lime juice and cilantro, then pulse until everything is puréed. Taste for salt, and add kosher salt to your tastes; I used around 1/2 tsp to 3/4 tsp.
- Transfer to storage containers and let cool.
- OPTIONAL: 'Season' your salsa verde by heating vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the salsa to it and cooking it to reduce the liquidity. This is great if you want to use the salsa verde for enchilada sauce.
