Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Tomatillos
• 1 large Poblano pepper
• 1 medium-sized (adjust to taste) Jalapeño pepper
• 1 small, chopped into quarters White onion
• 2 whole, peeled Garlic cloves
• 1 cup, loosely packed Cilantro
• 1 medium, juiced Fresh lime
• 0.5 teaspoons (optional, as per preference) Salt
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove the sticky residue.

Step 2

Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, onion quarters, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Roast them under the broiler in your oven on high for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until they are slightly charred and softened.

Step 3

Once roasted, let the vegetables cool for a few minutes. Then, remove the skins from the poblano and jalapeño if desired (to reduce bitterness or spice level), and de-seed them if you prefer a milder salsa.

Step 4

Add the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor along with the cilantro, lime juice, salt (if using), and water.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth or to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning or lime juice as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator before serving. This will help the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Serve with whole-grain tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
