Mozzarella, Tomatillo, Jalapeño Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatillo Salsa

   Start by removing the husks from the tomatillos and rinsing them under cold water to remove any stickiness. Cut them into quarters.

2. 2

   Roast the Jalapeño

   Char the jalapeño pepper over an open flame or in a broiler until the skin is blackened. Place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for about 10 minutes. Then, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and chop it finely.

3. 3

   Mix the Salsa

   In a bowl, combine the quartered tomatillos, chopped jalapeño, olive oil, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into thick rounds and layer them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomatillo salsa over the mozzarella slices.

5. 5

   Serve

   Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and serve immediately as an appetizer or light dish.
