Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 4 medium Tomatillos
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 medium Onion
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.
Core the tomatoes and tomatillos, and cut them in half.
Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeño, garlic cloves (skin on), and onion (cut into large chunks) on the skillet or grill pan.
Drizzle everything with the olive oil and let cook, turning occasionally, until they develop char marks and soften (about 10-12 minutes).
Once cooled slightly, peel the charred skin from the garlic cloves.
Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender or food processor.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender.
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smooth salsa, blend longer; for a chunkier texture, pulse gently.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to preference.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
