🥄 Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos, (husked and rinsed (about 10 med-large tomatillos))
  • 3 jalapeño peppers, (stemmed (and seeded if desired))
  • ½ medium white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup cilantro ((stems and leaves))
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice ((about ½ lime))
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, (plus more as needed)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. To roast the salsa: Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a large baking sheet. Roast directly under the broiler for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tomatillos and peppers are charred.

  2. To boil the salsa: Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and enough water to completely cover them to a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes until the tomatillos and peppers turn from a bright green to a dull and dark yellow-ish camouflage green.

  3. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a large blender and blend until smooth.

  4. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
