Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 10 tomatillos (husked and washed)
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (stems and seeds removed)
  • 2 serrano peppers (stems and seeds removed)
  • of a bunch cilantro
  • ½ onion (red or white)
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 2 limes (juiced)

Instructions

  1. Remove husks from tomatillos and wash well. 

  2. Cut off stems from peppers and slice in half, lengthwise. Carefully remove pith and seeds. 

  3. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay the tomatillos and peppers down. Broil on high for about 4-5 minutes. 

  4. Then, flip over the tomatillos and peppers and broil for another 3-4 minutes. (Tomatillos should be cooked and barely starting to leak juice. You want to watch them to make sure they don’t burst or open up too much.)

  5. Let them cool for about ten minutes and place in blender. (Be careful when blending hot foods. Check your blenders instructions or let tomatillos cool completely before blending, if unsure.)

  6. Once cooled, place in blender and pulse a little bit to make room for the remaining ingredients. Then, add the cilantro, garlic, seasonings, onion and lime juice.

  7. Blend until smooth and enjoy immediately, or place it in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, until ready to eat.
