Total: 40 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 5 cups

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds fresh tomatillos, husked and well rinsed
  2. 2 fresh jalapeno peppers
  3. 1 medium white onion, quartered
  4. 4 tablespoons olive oil
  5. 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  6. 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  7. Juice of 1/2 lime
  8. Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
  4. Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

Awesome, have made this several times now. Everyone loves it. We now make it as gifts, just put it into a mason jar with a bow! I also usually add a habernero or two and a few additional spices , A+

Excellent. I backed way down on the jalapeño and it was still excellent.
Gary Joseph
Easy. I added a couple of more peppers.

This condiment is delicious with grilled chicken, beef, and pork.  It’s easy to make and lasts in the fridge for days.

I bought the ingredients for half the recipe, since I wasn’t sure how it would come out or if my family would like it. This was really easy to make and was so delicious. I fried up some fresh tortilla chips to go with it and it was such a hit with my family that I regret halving the recipe. I will definitely be making this again, this recipe is a keeper.

Easy. Good.

Love this recipe.  I roasted all veggies on a grill mat on my gas grill.  Fabulous flavor and lovely texture.  I didn’t even need the last 3 T of oil.
