Easy, roasted salsa using fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
  • 4 medium size tomatillos
  • 2 serrano peppers for mild or 1 jalapeño pepper for spicy
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup white onion slices
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp water
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 lime
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven on the broil option.
  2. Deseed and devein serrano peppers or jalapeño. The heat comes from the seeds and the veins, keep them if you want your salsa to be extra spicy. You've been warned! Remove husk from tomatillos.
  3. Place tomatillos, peppers, cherry tomatoes, white onions, and garlic on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast until tomatillos are nicely charred and bubbling. You will have to carefully rotate them so they cook evenly on all sides. Don't walk away from the oven, they char really fast, you'll flip every 2-3 minutes or so. Remove baking sheet from oven and set aside.
  5. In a blender or food processor, add tomatillos, peppers, cherry tomatoes, white onions, garlic, water, cilantro, salt, pepper, and juice of one lime. Blend for 15 seconds, then pulse until desired consistency.
  6. Serve immediately and refrigerate leftovers.
