Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos about 7 to 8 small
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion or 1/2 large onion chopped
- jalapeno pepper chopped (use less if you don't like heat)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Peel, rinse, dry and slice the tomatillos in half
- Arrange the tomatillos on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast them for 15 to 20 minutes until they begin to soften
- While the tomatillos are roasting, rough chop the onions, garlic and cilantro
- Once the tomatillos have been roasted and cooled off, add them to a food processor or high speed blender along with the lime juice, onions, garlic and cilantro and blend.
Notes
- For an extra fresh roasted salsa verde, I roast the tomatillos only. You can also add the jalapeno peppers and garlic to the roasting pan and roast them with the tomatillos.
- For a zesty salsa verde, make salsa verde with raw tomatillos. Peel and clean the tomatillos rough chop them and add them with the remaining ingredients to the blender or food processor.
