Tomatillo's are used a lot in Mexican cuisine. My grandmother grew them in her garden all summer long. They are round, & green with papery husks all around them. Almost like a little bag.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb tomatillos washed and cut in halves
1 large vidalia onion or white onion cut in half
1/2 c fresh cilantro leaves
4/5 Tbsp fresh key lime or regular lime juice
1/4 tsp sugar
2 large jalapeno peppers stemmed, roasted and chopped
1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Remove papery husk from the tomatillos and wash well under cool water. Cut them in half and keep the cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet. Put the the two stemmed rinsed jalapenos cut in halves as well seed side down (cut length wise) next to the tomatillos. Cut vidalia onion in half and palce cut side down next to the jalapenos and tomatillos Broil for 5 to 7 minutes to lightly blacken the skins of the veggies. You are looking for a light char. Watch that they do char real bad.
  • 2. Next Place the tomatillos, onions, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, & cum,in the food processor and pulse till the ingredients are finely chopped. Add salt and pepper & galic powder to season. Place in refrigerator and serve cold with tortilla chips or on top of grilled meats. Enjoy
  • 3. If you do not like the taste of lime you can reduce the tablespoons of lime juice to two or three. I will post my picture tomorrow of my tomatillo salasa, My camera died and I am re-charging it tonight.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of tomatillos. But I was pleasantly surprised! The roasted tomatillos have a really nice flavor and the salsa is not too spicy.
