Ingredients

• 6 medium (about 1 pound) Tomatillos
• 2 large Green chilies (such as Anaheim or poblano)
• 1 medium Jalapeño
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 cup (loosely packed) Cilantro leaves
• 1 small, chopped Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse to remove any sticky residue. Cut the tomatillos in half and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Add the green chilies, jalapeño, and garlic cloves (leave the garlic cloves unpeeled) to the baking sheet with the tomatillos.

Step 4

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly charred, and the chilies have blistered skins.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the ingredients cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the garlic cloves and discard the skins.

Step 6

Place the roasted tomatillos, chilies (remove stems and seeds for milder salsa), peeled garlic, cilantro, lime juice, red onion, sea salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth or pulse briefly for a chunky texture, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the salsa to a bowl or jar and let it cool completely. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
