Easy Tomatillo Salsa
makes about a cup and a half
This salsa is fantastic on anything grilled – like corn and shrimp tacos or your favorite corn chips! You won’t believe how easy it is!
Ingredients:
6 medium tomatillos
1/4 medium yellow onion, cut into large chunks
1 serrano or jalapeño pepper, stemmed* (see note)
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled, wrapped in foil
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
1. Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse under cool water to remove the stickiness. Place the tomatillos, onion, and pepper on the baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and a generous pinch of salt, and toss. Place the wrapped garlic on the
pan. Roast for 15 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft.
2. Unwrap the garlic from the foil, peel it, and place in bowl of a food processor. Add the roasted vegetables, lime juice, and cilantro, and pulse. If your salsa is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to thin to desired consistency. Season to taste.
3. Serve with chips or your favorite taco recipe.
