Ingredients

  • 12 tomatillos* husks removed and halved
  • 1/2 large white onion quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic in the peel
  • olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño roughly chopped
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 1 lime juiced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the tomatillos (cut-side down), onion and garlic to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Add everything from the baking sheet to a food processor** (being sure to remove the garlic skins) with the rest of the salsa ingredients. Pulse until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Allow to cool before placing in the fridge. This will last for 3-5 days in the fridge.

Notes

*When you remove the husks, the tomatillos will have a slightly sticky layer on the outside. Be sure to rinse them under warm water before cutting in half.
**Be sure to squeeze all of the juices and oil off of the parchment paper into the food processor.
