Ingredients
- 8 medium (approx. 1 pound) Tomatillos
- 1 large Poblano pepper
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 0.5 cup (packed) Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler or set up a grill on medium-high heat.
Step 2
Husk the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove their sticky residue. Pat them dry with a towel.
Step 3
Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, half of the onion (cut into large chunks), and garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Step 4
Broil the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are charred and softened. For an alternative, roast on a grill until all sides are charred and the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Once roasted, let the peppers cool for a few minutes, then peel the skins off the poblano and jalapeño. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder salsa.
Step 6
Combine the roasted tomatillos, onions, garlic, peppers, cilantro leaves, lime juice, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Step 7
Blend the mixture until smooth or leave it slightly chunky, depending on your texture preference.
Step 8
If the salsa is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice if needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
