Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
8 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 serrano pepper (optional)
1 jalapeno pepper
1/2 medium yellow onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high. Spray a baking sheet with fat-free cooking spray.
  • Cut tomatillos in half and place cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet with serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until charred, about 20 minutes, turning peppers halfway through cooking time.
  • Remove vegetables from the oven and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Remove stems from peppers and peel garlic.
  • Combine tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
