Simple Salsa Verde

Broil, then puree tomatillos and aromatics for a simple salsa verde.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Tomatillos
  • Jalapenos split and seeded
  • garlic optional
  • onion optional

Method
 

  1. Take however many tomatillos you have or want to use. Cut them in half, and put the cut side down on a baking pan.
  2. Then add aromatics, again, in the amounts you want. (A good place to begin is about one quarter the amount of jalapeno in bulk as you have tomatillo - but vary by taste.) Add onion and garlic if desired. Again, cut them in two (seeding the jalapenos) and put them cut side down on the pan.
  3. Broil for 7-10 minutes, until softened and starting to bubble and char just slightly. Let cool.
  4. Scrape everything from the pan, including the liquid from the tomatillos, into a food processor. Puree.
