Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatillos

    Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water to remove any stickiness.

  2. 2

    Roast the Tomatillos and Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the tomatillos and jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are charred and softened.

  3. 3

    Chop the Other Ingredients

    While the tomatillos and jalapeños are roasting, finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and set all aside.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the tomatillos and jalapeños are roasted, allow them to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped onion, garlic, cilantro, and the juice of the lime.

  2. 5

    Season the Salsa

    Add salt and ground black pepper to the blender. Blend until you reach your desired consistency, which can be smooth or chunky based on your preference.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Salsa

    Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
