Ingredients
- 1 lb . tomatillos , husked, stems removed, rinsed well and dried
- 1 tsp high heat cooking oil (such as melted ghee or avocado oil)
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 clove of garlic , minced
- 1 small/medium jalapeño , ribs and seeds removed (if desired), finely chopped
- 1/4 of a small bundle of fresh cilantro , upper stems and all (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt or salt to taste
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to 4 to 6 inches below broiler, then preheat broiler.
- Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on it. Place on the rack below broiler and let broil until they begin to turn brown in spots and their skins begin to burst, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- When the tomatillos have cooled, place them into the bowl of a food processor or a blender along with the rest of the ingredients and blend to a coarse puree. Let stand at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to marry or place into an air-tight container and refrigerate for 3-5 days. Check seasoning before serving and adjust if necessary. If refrigerating, let come back to room temp. before serving.
