Spicy Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Roasted Tomatillo Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Step 2

   Halve the tomatillos and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Add the serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, quartered onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves to the sheet.

3. Step 3

   Broil the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are charred. Turn the peppers halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

4. Step 4

   Once charred, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool completely for about 15 minutes. After cooling, remove the stems from the peppers and peel the garlic cloves.

5. Step 5

   In a food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, lime juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency.

6. Step 6

   Transfer the salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
