Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
🇲🇽 Mexico
Ingredients
- 8 oz tomatillos (about 6 medium), husks removed
- 2 serrano peppers
- 2 thick slices white onion (about 1/4 onion)
- 1 clove garlic, unpeeled
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- salt, to taste
Steps
- Remove husks from tomatillos and stems from serrano peppers.
- Preheat a comal or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Roast the tomatillos, serranos, onion slices, and garlic, turning occasionally, until charred and blistered; the tomatillos will release some juice.
- Remove the garlic early since it roasts faster than the other vegetables; peel it once roasted.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor and blend until slightly chunky.
- Add about 1/4 cup water if the mixture is too thick.
- Add the cilantro and blend again until well combined.
- Season with salt to taste and serve in a bowl.
