Ingredients

• 10 medium Tomatillos
• 2 small Jalapeño peppers
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 small White onion
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 large Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue.

Step 2

Cut the tomatillos in half. Peel the garlic cloves. Remove the stems from the jalapeño peppers.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Place the tomatillos (cut side down), jalapeños, and garlic in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft and charred. Turn the jalapeños and garlic occasionally to ensure even charring.

Step 5

Meanwhile, finely dice the white onion and roughly chop the cilantro.

Step 6

Once the tomatillo mixture has cooled slightly, transfer the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Step 7

Add the diced onion, cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt to the blender. Pulse to combine, leaving the salsa a little chunky if desired.

Step 8

Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, or refrigerate if serving later.

Step 10

Serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment for tacos, grilled meats, or eggs.
