Ingredients

• 8 medium Tomatillos
• 1 large Poblano pepper
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 large White onion
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup (packed) Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the husks off the tomatillos and rinse them to remove any sticky residue. Pat dry.

Step 2

Set the oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, sliced white onion, and garlic cloves (with skins on) on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.

Step 5

Broil the vegetables in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are charred and the tomatillos are soft.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and discard the skins.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted vegetables (including any juices released during roasting) to a blender or food processor.

Step 8

Add the cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and ground cumin to the blender or food processor.

Step 9

Blend until smooth. If the salsa is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 11

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
