Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Tomatillos
- 1 large Poblano pepper
- 1 medium-sized Jalapeño pepper
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium-sized White onion
- 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Husk the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, whole garlic cloves (unpeeled), and halved onion on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the vegetables for about 6-8 minutes or until they develop a nice char, turning occasionally to ensure even roasting.
Remove the vegetables from the broiler and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and remove the skin from the poblano pepper, then discard the seeds from both the poblano and jalapeño peppers for a milder salsa (optional).
Transfer the roasted tomatillos, peppers, garlic, and onion to a blender or food processor.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and water to the blender.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Pour the salsa into a bowl and let it cool completely. This salsa can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days for optimal flavor.
