Ingredients

  • 6 medium tomatillos cut in half
  • 1/2 medium onion cut into smaller pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Handful cilantro
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 jalapeno cut into pieces, remove seeds if you want less spice (optional)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375F. Place rack at the top of the oven.
  • Place tomatillo halves on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes or until soft and slightly blackened.
  • Meanwhile, prepare and add all other ingredients to a food processor.
  • Once tomatillos are cooked, take out of oven and let cool for five minutes.
  • Once cooled, add tomatillos to food processor and blend on high until mixture is smooth. You may need to stop and scrape sides halfway through.
  • Serve immediately or chill before serving.

Notes

  • This amount of salsa is good if you're serving a bunch of different appetizers/dips. You could easily double the recipe if you have lots of people to feed.
  • Omit the jalapeno if you want a mild salsa.
