Ingredients
- 6 medium Tomatillos
- 2 small Jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium Poblano pepper
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small White onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove their sticky coating. Pat them dry.
Step 3
Place the tomatillos, jalapeños, poblano pepper, garlic cloves (with skin on), and onion (cut into quarters) onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Broil the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until they are blistered and slightly charred. Use tongs to turn them over and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.
Step 5
Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. Once cooled, remove the stems from the peppers, and peel the skin off the garlic.
Step 6
Add the roasted vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, cumin (if using), water, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Step 7
Blend the mixture until smooth or until your desired salsa consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust lime juice or seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. The flavors will develop as it sits.
Step 9
Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
