Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa

Total Time

40 Minutes

Servings

20

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
  • 3 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • 1/2 cup water, or as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven's grill. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the grill, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavour.
  2. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool.
  3. Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and coriander. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
