Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 2 serrano chiles
- 1/2 white onion, cut in thick slices
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup water
Method
- Heat the broiler with a rack close to the heat and line a sheet pan with foil.
- Broil the tomatillos, chiles, onion and garlic, turning once, until blistered and blackened in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Peel the garlic and pull the stems off the chiles.
- Blend everything with the cilantro, lime juice, salt and water until nearly smooth.
- Taste for salt and let it cool before serving.
Notes
Makes about 2 cups and keeps a week in the fridge.
Seed the serranos for a milder salsa, or add a jalapeƱo for more.
