2 cloves garlic
1 serrano chile
1/4 white onion
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Roast for 10-15 minutes to char. Remove and let the vegetables cool. Try to remove the skins of the tomatillos and some of the seeds of the serrano if you prefer a mild salsa (leaving them in will be hot).

2 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
10 dried chile de arbol peppers
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Line a heavy cast iron grill pan or griddle with aluminum foil and place over high heat. Arrange tomatillos, chiles de arbol, and garlic in a single layer on top.

Add as many tomatillos as you can fit in your mortar; pound until chunky. Transfer salsa to a bowl. Repeat with remaining tomatillos, mixing them into the bowl of salsa in batches.
