Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Roasting the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Husk the tomatillos and rinse them under water. Place the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Blending the Sauce

    Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the ingredients to cool slightly. Transfer the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro into a blender. Add lime juice and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.

  3. 3

    Serving

    Serve the tomatillo sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be used as a dip, a topping for tacos, or a sauce for grilled meats.
