Nutritional Information (per serving)
Ingredients:
- About 1 dozen tomatillos, paper skins removed and halved (or quartered if large). If there is dirt on tomatillos, take a damp cloth and wipe away.
2 onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, whole
3 jalapenos, cut lengthwise, removing inner seeds
salt and pepper
olive oil
handful cilantro
juice of 2 limes
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- On a sheet pan, place tomatillos, onion, garlic and jalapenos, season with salt and pepper and toss with olive oil.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, turning over a few times.
- Set aside and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, place roasted ingredients in to a food processor and add cilantro and lime juice. Puree until smooth and test to see if you need to add more seasoning. You may need to add a few TBLS of water if sauce is too thick. (It should be the consistency of a pureed salsa).
This salsa is wonderful alone as a side dish, with traditional red salsa and can be used anywhere you would use the red stuff. I especially love salsa verde with goat cheese enchiladas!
