Ingredients
  • 5-8 Tomatillos (Husk removed, tomatillo washed, stem scar removed, then quartered)
  • 1/4 Cup White Onion ( Sliced or diced)
  • 1 Jalapeno or Serrano Pepper (Stem removed, seeds/lighter inside flesh removed for milder heat, then halved or quartered)
  • 1-2 Cloves Garlic (Peeled and stem scar removed)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro (Fresh, chopped)
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime juice
  • Salt & Pepper (To taste)
Instructions

  1. Distribute tomatillos, onions, and garlic on your lined baking sheet or dry skillet and heat on medium/high (skillet-about 5-10 minutes) or 400° (preheated oven-about 15-20 minutes) or until you begin to see browning.

  2. Place all other ingredients (except salt) in your blender or food processor. Add your cooked ingredients and blend/process until you reach your preferred smoothness.

  3. Add your salt (optional) until you reach your preferred taste.

  4. Serve.

Recipe Notes
  1. I prefer using a silicone sheet in my baking sheet when roasting my tomatillos in the oven.
  2. Consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if you use a skillet and experience sticking problems.
