Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillos
- ½ white or yellow onion, cut in wedges
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 jalapenos, halved and deseeded
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ c cilantro
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Rinse the tomatillos under cold water to remove the stickiness. For milder salsa, halve the jalapenos and remove the seeds and ribs.
- Add the tomatillos, onion, garlic (with skin on), and jalapenos to a baking sheet. Roast for 16 to 20 minutes, turning over halfway through.
- Transfer the roasted tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapenos to the food processor. Add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until you achieve the desired consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
