Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Tomatillo Garlic Salsa.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven's broiler to get it nice and hot.
Step 2
While that's warming up, grab a baking sheet and arrange whole garlic cloves, tomatillos, and jalapenos on it.
Step 3
Once your oven is ready, slide the baking sheet under the broiler and let the magic happen! Keep a close watch on the garlic; as soon as it turns a lovely golden color, take it out to avoid any bitterness.
Step 4
Let the tomatillos and jalapenos continue roasting until they’re beautifully charred, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
After everything is roasted to perfection, set the vegetables aside to cool down a bit.
Step 6
Don’t worry about peeling off the charred skins; they add a wonderful depth of flavor to your salsa.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to blend! In a blender, combine the roasted tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, and a handful of fresh cilantro.
Step 8
If the mixture seems a bit thick, feel free to add a splash of water to help it blend smoothly.
Step 9
Season your salsa with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then blend until it reaches your desired consistency—smooth or a little chunky, it’s all up to you! Once blended, transfer your vibrant salsa to a bowl and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Step 10
Enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors that will elevate any dish!.
