Here's a refreshing twist on the usual tomato-based salsa: a savory blend of grilled tomatillos, onion and pepper. Grilling the vegetables gives the salsa a smoky undertone.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound (about 14) tomatillos
1/2 small jalapeño
1 small yellow onion, cut in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat an outdoor or stove-top grill. Keeping them in their husks, brush the tomatillos, the jalapeno, and onion halves lightly with the olive oil. Grill the vegetables until soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Place grilled vegetables into the bowl of a food processor. Add the lime juice, salt, sugar, cumin, and cilantro. Pulse the mixture until salsa is formed, about 8 pulses. Serve with warm tortilla chips.
