Description

Lightly roasted tomatillos give a smoky taste to this spicy green salsa. Remove the seeds and ribs of the peppers for a milder version.

• 1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatillos - husked, peeled, and halved

• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves

• 1/4 cup chopped white onion

• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced

• 1 serrano pepper, diced

• 1 lime, juiced

• 1/8 teaspoon white sugar

1 Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Place tomatillos cut side down on a baking sheet.

2 Broil in preheated oven until slightly charred, about 5 minutes.

3 Transfer tomatillos to a food processor with cilantro, onion, jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper, lime juice, and sugar; pulse until well mixed.
