Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 medium Tomatillos
- 2 small Jalapeño peppers
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small White onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue.
Cut the tomatillos in half. Peel the garlic cloves. Remove the stems from the jalapeño peppers.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the tomatillos (cut side down), jalapeños, and garlic in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft and charred. Turn the jalapeños and garlic occasionally to ensure even charring.
Meanwhile, finely dice the white onion and roughly chop the cilantro.
Once the tomatillo mixture has cooled slightly, transfer the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add the diced onion, cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt to the blender. Pulse to combine, leaving the salsa a little chunky if desired.
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, or refrigerate if serving later.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment for tacos, grilled meats, or eggs.
