Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos husks removed and well-rinsed in warm water
- 3 cloves garlic in their skins
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small jalapeño seeded and chopped
- 3 scallions white and pale green parts only, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt and a few turns of black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
-
Cut the tomatillos in half through the stem and trim the end of the garlic cloves, leaving their skin intact. Toss the tomatillos and garlic cloves with olive oil and lay the tomatillos cut side down on the lined sheet pan alongside the garlic.
-
Roast for 15-20 mins or until the tomatillos are softened and lightly browned. Let the tomatillos and garlic cool slightly and remove the skins from the garlic and discard.
-
Place the tomatillos (and accumulated juices), garlic, and remaining ingredients in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until well blended.
-
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for several days.
