Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 2 whole Serrano peppers
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 small White onion
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Husk and rinse the tomatillos to remove any sticky residue, then pat them dry.
Step 3
Place the tomatillos, serrano peppers, whole unpeeled garlic cloves, and quartered onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring all items are lightly coated.
Step 4
Broil the vegetables on the top rack of the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are charred and softened. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 5
Peel the garlic cloves and transfer them, along with the roasted tomatillos, serrano peppers, and onion, to a blender or food processor.
Step 6
Add the fresh cilantro, the juice of one lime, and salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky). Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it cool completely at room temperature. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for more concentrated flavors.
Step 8
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican dish. Enjoy!
