Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Tomatillos
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.
Cut the onion into quarters and peel the garlic cloves.
Place the tomatillos, quartered onion, garlic cloves, and the whole jalapeño on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly charred, and the onion edges are caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Be careful when handling the jalapeño; if you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds before blending.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Pour the sauce into a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
