Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Salsa is a lot easier than you might think to make at home, and it is so delicious. I love this salsa for burritos!

You'll need:

● 1lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed

● 1 jalapeño pepper

● 1 Serrano pepper

● 2 unpeeled garlic cloves

● 1/2 cup chicken stock

● 1/4 medium red onion, chopped

● 1/3 cup cilantro loosely packed leaves and stems

● 1 tbsp lime juice

● 1/2 salt

1.) Heat the broiler with a rack about 4 inches below the heat. Place the tomatillos, jalapeño, serrano pepper, and garlic into a baking dish. Broil, turning occasionally, until they’re blackened in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.

2.) Remove the baking dish and add chicken stock, then use a wooden spoon to scrape any bits stuck to the bottom. Let tomatillos, peppers, and garlic cool.

3.) When they are cool enough to handle, peel most of the skins from the peppers and remove seeds. For a spicier salsa, leave in some or all of the seeds. Remove the softened garlic from peel.

4.) Add roasted tomatillos, peppers, garlic flesh, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a food processor. Pour about half of the liquid from the baking dish, then pulse 3 to 4 times or until the salsa is mostly smooth and no big chunks of tomatillo remain, scraping down the sides as necessary. Adjust with more liquid, lime juice, or salt based on consistency and taste.
