Ingredients

  • 4-6 tomatillos
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic skin on
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno (seeds and ribs removed) optional if you like it SPICY

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler to high heat.
    Peel the tomatillos from the outer paper-like skin and wash them under warm water to remove some stickiness. Remove the top stem and place on a cooking sheet. Add garlic to the sheet with skin on.

  • Place under broiler for about 10 minutes, watching to make sure you get a nice char. Turn the tomatillos so they get charred on all sides.
  • Remove garlic from skins and add garlic, shallot, cilantro, and jalapeno to a food processor and pulse till fully chopped. Add charred tomatillos and pulse till desired consistency is reached.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
