Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Tomatillos about 6 large to medium
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for dizzling
  • 1/3 whole white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 whole serrano pepper 1/2 for mild!
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 whole lime juiced
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep tomatillos by peeling off the papery husks and then cutting them in half horizontally.
  • Place tomatillo halves face down on a baking sheet along with garlic cloves (still in husks), serrano pepper, and onion roughly chopped into quarter pieces. Drizzle all veggies with olive oil.
  • Broil sheet vegetables on top shelf under a high broil for 10-15 minutes or until tops of tomatillos are browned/charred and have changed to a less bright green color. The onions should also be slightly browned, the serrano lightly charred, and the garlic should be softer and toasted. Roasting the onion and garlic adds a sweetness to the salsa that complements the heat of the serrano pepper nicely.
  • Combine all of the roasted vegetables in a blender with the cilantro, lime juice, and salt and blend until combined and all of the chunks are blended away.
  • This salsa is packed with flavor and pairs perfectly with chips as well as being an incredible addition to tacos, burritos, tofu scrambles, and more!
