• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 small Garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Husk the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove any sticky residue.

Step 2

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Roast the tomatillos for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop char marks and soften slightly. Let them cool before chopping.

Step 3

Dice the fresh pineapple into small chunks, ensuring the pieces are roughly uniform for even mixing.

Step 4

Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder salsa.

Step 5

Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic clove.

Step 6

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 7

Juice the lime into a small bowl, and set the juice aside.

Step 8

Combine the roasted tomatillos, diced pineapple, jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.

Step 9

Add the lime juice, salt, and sugar to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt to balance the flavors to your preference.

Step 11

For best flavor, chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled proteins like chicken or fish. Enjoy!
