Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Have you seen tomatillos at the grocery store and wondered how you would use this funny little “green tomato” with the papery skin? Well, tomatillos are not green tomatoes but they do make a wonderful roasted salsa. Try this delicious roasted tomatillo salsa recipe simply as a dip with chips or take it to the next level by including it with a Mexican feast.
Ingredients
- Tomatillos – 1 lb (husk removed, washed well and cut in half)
- Jalapeno Peppers – approx 4 or to taste (try Serrano Peppers for a spicier kick)
- Onion – 1 medium, quartered
- Garlic – 6 large cloves
- Cilantro – big handful
- Roasted Cumin Powder – ½ tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Sugar – ½ tsp
- Lime Juice – to taste
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with rims with foil.
- Light coat with oil or spray cooking oil.
- Arrange Tomatillos and Jalapeno Peppers cut side down on the tray. Arrange Onion and Garlic on the tray. Arrange in a single layer.
