Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
- 1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
- 3 fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup water, or as needed
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven's heating element to its highest setting. Prepare a baking dish by placing an assortment of whole garlic cloves, tomatillos, and jalapenos on it. Subject the mixture to heat under the oven's broiler for a short period of time, monitoring its progress closely.
2
Once the garlic cloves have reached a toasted state, carefully remove them from the baking dish to prevent any bitterness from developing. Continue cooking the jalapenos and tomatillos, ensuring they are evenly charred by frequently rotating them.
3
Allow the roasted peppers and tomatillos to cool down before setting them aside. Leave the charred parts intact, as they contribute a rich flavor to the dish.
4
Combine the roasted peppers and tomatillos with the garlic, cilantro, and a small amount of water in a blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency, adding additional water if necessary to facilitate smooth blending.
5
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the blended mixture, adjusting the seasoning to your taste. Store the prepared sauce in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
