Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 8 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup water
Instructions
1
Position an oven rack approximately six inches away from the heat source and set the oven's broiler to its highest setting.
2
Apply a non-stick cooking spray to a baking sheet, ensuring it is evenly coated.
3
Arrange cut-tomatillos on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, accompanied by sliced serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, and minced garlic.
4
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and continue to broil until the vegetables are nicely caramelized, approximately 20 minutes, with a halfway point adjustment to accommodate the peppers' varying cooking times.
5
Once done, carefully remove the vegetables from the oven and permit them to cool completely before proceeding, approximately 15 minutes.
6
Next, remove the pepper stems and peel the garlic cloves to facilitate their use in the recipe.
7
Combine the cooked tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a food processor. Process the ingredients to achieve your desired texture consistency.
8
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together harmoniously.
