Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Tomatillos
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 small Yellow or white onion
- 0.5 cup (loosely packed, chopped) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for added creaminess) Avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove any sticky residue. Pat dry.
Place the tomatillos, green chilies, peeled garlic cloves, and quartered onion onto the prepared baking sheet. Roast them under the broiler for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are charred and softened.
Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender or food processor. Allow to cool for a few minutes before blending.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and avocado oil (if using) into the blender with the roasted veggies.
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse a few times. For a smoother salsa, blend until creamy.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container. Let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip for keto-friendly chips, a topping for grilled meats, or a flavorful addition to your favorite low-carb dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
