Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 medium-sized Tomatillos
- 2 large Poblano peppers
- 1 large Jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium-sized White onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup, loosely packed Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Filtered water (optional for consistency)
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove their sticky residue.
Set your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Place the tomatillos, poblano peppers, jalapeño, white onion (cut into quarters), and garlic cloves on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with the avocado oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Broil the vegetables on the top rack of the oven for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tomatillos are soft and charred, and the peppers have blistered skins.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the peppers to cool slightly, then remove their stems and (optionally) seeds for less heat, depending on your spice preference.
Transfer the charred vegetables, peeled garlic, cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and cumin to a blender or food processor.
Blend or pulse the mixture until smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of filtered water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Taste and adjust with additional lime juice or sea salt if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or jar and let it cool completely before serving. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
