Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium tomatillos
- 2 medium jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium serrano pepper
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 small white onion
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue.
Cut the tomatillos in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side down.
Add the jalapeño peppers, serrano pepper, and garlic cloves (with skins on) to the baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil.
Place the baking sheet under a broiler on high heat and roast for 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatillos and peppers start to char.
Remove from the oven and allow everything to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and remove the stems from the peppers.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, peppers, peeled garlic, white onion (quartered), fresh cilantro leaves, lime juice, water, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Adjust the lime juice and salt to taste if needed.
Pour the salsa into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
