Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium tomatillos husked and rinsed, roasted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1-2 jalapeno or serrano peppers stemmed (or 1 for less spicy)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 small white onion cut into large chunks
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt or to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
  • Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Place the tomatillos, onion, and pepper on the baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and toss
  • Roast for 15 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft.
