Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 3 large Green chiles (such as Anaheim or Hatch)
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the husks off the tomatillos and rinse them well under running water to remove their sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos, green chiles, jalapeño pepper, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and softened.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roasted vegetables cool for 5-10 minutes.
Peel the skins off the green chiles and jalapeño pepper. Remove the stems and seeds if a milder chutney is desired.
Peel the roasted garlic cloves and transfer them, along with the tomatillos, green chiles, jalapeño, cilantro leaves, lime juice, honey, salt, and ground cumin, to a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the chutney is too thick.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
