Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 1 large Poblano pepper
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 large White onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup (packed) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
Peel the husks off the tomatillos and rinse them to remove any sticky residue. Pat dry.
Set the oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, sliced white onion, and garlic cloves (with skins on) on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Broil the vegetables in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are charred and the tomatillos are soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and discard the skins.
Transfer the roasted vegetables (including any juices released during roasting) to a blender or food processor.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and ground cumin to the blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. If the salsa is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
