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 Vegetables

    Place the tomatillos and jalapeño pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for about 15-20 minutes until charred, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Chop the Garlic and Onion

    While the vegetables are roasting, finely chop the garlic and onion.

Blending

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients in Blender

    Once the tomatillos and jalapeño are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to a blender along with the chopped garlic, onion, cilantro leaves, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 5

    Blend to Desired Consistency

    Blend the mixture until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or any of your favorite dishes.
