Ingredients

• 6 whole Hatch green chilies
• 4 medium-sized Tomatillos
• 1 medium-sized White onion
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high, or set up a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Place the Hatch green chilies, tomatillos, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet or grill. Roast them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chilies are charred, the tomatillos are soft, and the garlic skins are browned.

Step 3

Remove the roasted vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, peel the skin from the Hatch chilies and remove the seeds for a milder salsa. For more heat, leave some of the seeds intact.

Step 4

Peel the roasted garlic cloves and roughly chop the tomatillos and onion.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted Hatch green chilies, tomatillos, garlic, white onion, cilantro leaves, lime juice, salt, and water.

Step 6

Pulse the ingredients until you achieve a slightly chunky texture. Do not over-blend, as the salsa should have some texture.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil and stir well.

Step 8

Simmer the salsa for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed.

Step 10

Allow the salsa to cool slightly before serving. Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, or grilled meats.
