  • 1-½ pound Fresh Tomatillos, Husked
  • 1 whole Large Jalapeno, Halved And Seeded As Desired

  • ¼ cups Olive Oil, Plus Additional For Roasting
  • ½ bunches Fresh Cilantro
  • ½ teaspoons Sea Salt, Plus Additional To Taste
  • 1 whole Fresh Lime

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Rinse tomatillos under cold water until no longer sticky. Drain well and place tomatillos on a large baking sheet along with jalapenos, onion slices, and the whole cloves of garlic. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes. With an oven mitt on, reach in and give the pan a shake every 5 minutes throughout cooking time. Roast until tomatillos have softened and are slightly charred. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.

Transfer tomatillo mixture to a food processor and add cilantro, salt, juice from the lime and 1/4 cup olive oil. Process till smooth. Taste and add additional salt if needed.

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate till completely chilled. Serve with tortilla chips or use as a condiment for tacos or burritos.
