Ingredients

  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 4-5 tomatillos
  • 1/3 small onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1-2 jalapenos (or serranos)
  • 10-12 sprigs cilantro
  • pinch of salt
  • squeeze of lime

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Husk the tomatillos and then rinse both the tomatoes and tomatillos.  I usually remove the stems from both of them knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will go into the blender.
  2. Roast the tomatoes and tomatillos in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes.  Here's why roasting tomatillos is better than boiling them.
  3. Add the roasted tomatoes and tomatillos to a blender along with 1/3 small onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 rinsed and de-stemmed jalapeno (or less for a milder version), 10-12 sprigs rinsed cilantro.  Combine well (I usually leave it a bit chunky.)
  4. Take a taste for seasoning.  I added another 1/2 jalapeno, a pinch of salt, and a generous squeeze of lime.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for a bit before serving.  
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where they will keep for a few days. 

Notes

  • Even though I'm a huge fan of serving Salsas warm, I actually like this Tomato and Tomatillo Salsa best when it's served cold.  
  • I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portion of the cilantro stems, but use the upper stems that hold the leaves together.
