Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs. tomatillos
  • 1 jalapeño stemmed and sliced in half (remove seeds and ribs if you don’t want the heat)
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • ½ medium white onion
  • ¼ cup cilantro packed
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to broil and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Peel husks off of the tomatillos and rinse well. Halve and place cut side down on the baking sheet. Cut the stem off of the jalapeño and halve. Remove seeds and ribs if you prefer a milder salsa. Place on the baking sheet with the tomatillos.
  • Broil for 8-10 minutes on the middle rack until the skins start to blister and turn black. Remove from the oven and cool briefly.
  • Put tomatillos and any juices on the baking sheet, jalapeño, garlic, onion, cilantro, salt, and lime juice in a blender or food processor. Pulse several times until well blended.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. It will thicken as it cools. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
