Instructions
Prepping & Grilling
Start by heating your grill for direct heat.
While that heats up prep your veggies: remove the husk on the tomatillos and rinse under warm water (they will be sticky, that is ok, it may not all come off)Grab two garlic cloves, leaving the paper skin on, and place in a foil packet with a little olive oil.Cut half a white onion into quarters and then skewer. It will make it easier to manuver on the grill and prevent them from falling into the grill.The jalapeno will go on the grill whole, just as is.** no need to use oil on your veggies.
Place the tomatillos, jalapeno, onions and garlic packet over direct heat for about 10 minutes. You will want to occassionally turn the jalapeno and tomatillos so they char on all sides.
Let the veggies cool for a couple minutes and then place them in a food processor or blender along with the kosher salt, cilantro, and lime juice.**See the notes below about what portion of the jalapeno to use.
Blend for about 20 seconds
Taste with a spoon or chip and add more seasoning (kosher salt) as desired.
Serving
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or with tacos, quesadillas, burritos or salads.
Storing
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
**JALAPENO: You can choose your own heat/spice level with a jalapeno. After grilling use the portion that best fits your spice tolerance:Low Heat- Green parts only. Or use a Poblano or Anaheim pepper which are less spicy.Medium Heat – no seeds, keep the with pith/ribsSpicy – put everything but the stem in the salsa! Or grab a pepper hotter than a jalapeno ( if you do, you are stronger than me!).NOT UP TO GRILLING? If you want some tomatillo salsa but you aren't up for grilling or don't have access to a grill you can make this Fresh Tomatillo Salsa which doesn't require any grilling or roasting!
