Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Course Condiment, Salsa
Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb tomatillos, husk removed and rinsed
  • 1/2 medium white onion, halved
  • 1-2 jalapenos or Serrano's
  • 2 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • juice of one lime

Instructions
 

  • Turn your broiler on and roast the tomatillos, chile(s), onion and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler, until blotchy black and softening (they’ll be turning from lime green to olive), about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side. Cool, then transfer everything to a blender, including all the delicious juice the tomatillos have exuded during roasting. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, then blend to a coarse puree. Scoop into a serving dish. Season with salt, usually 1/2 teaspoon.
