Ingredients

Servings
  • lb tomatillo husks removed, fresh
  • 2 jalapeños de-seeded, membranes removed
  • ½ white onion roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • lime juice from 1/2 lime
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Prepare large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, foil, or parchment paper. 
  2. Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse with water to clean.
  3. Slice tomatillos in half. 
  4. Prepare large baking sheet by laying out all the tomatillos, cut side down, halved jalapeno, chopped onion and garlic cloves. 
  5. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes until the tomatillos are softened. Then broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to get additional color to the skins of the tomatillos. 
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly.
  7. Add the all ingredients to a food processor/blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are mixed and combined and there are no large pieces remaining. (If too thick, add a small amount of water to reach desired consistency.)
  8. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Can store for about 1 week.

Notes

  • To boil ingredients: add the tomatillos (whole but with husks removed), onion and jalapeno into a large pot. Cover with water and boil for about 20 minutes until soft.
  • Peppers: If you prefer more heat, you can opt for a Serrano pepper, or add a portion of a Serrano pepper to taste. For less heat an Anaheim pepper can be used. 
  • Thickness: if the salsa is too thick, just add a small amount of water to the salsa to get the desired consistency.
