Tomatillo Salsa Recipe

{Tomatillo Salsa}

Tomatillos are a small green fruit that is generally located near the tomatoes in your grocery store. They are enclosed in a green husk so they are easy to locate because they look very unique. They produce an amazing salsa!

{Ingredients}

4 tomatillos (husks removed and sticky stuff washed off really well)

1 Serrano chile (if you like it super hot, ½ for less heat or substitute a jalapeno)

3 cloves of garlic

½ cup of fresh cilantro

¼ cup of chicken broth

Olive oil, enough to rub on the tomatillos and Serrano

Salt and pepper to flavor

{Directions}

• Pre-heat oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit; Rub the tomatillos, garlic (if you are using fresh) and Serrano with a little bit of olive oil 

• Place them on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil. Place them in the oven on the top rack and turn them once they start to char. The whole process should take 5-10 minutes depending on your broiler or oven.
• Once they have cooled a little bit you should take the tops off of the Chile. Peel the garlic.
• Put all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender; be careful if you use a food processor that you don’t go above the “liquid fill” line.

Hint: Ripe Tomatillos can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks; they will last longer if you remove the husk.
