1 roma tomato

3 fresh jalapeños (with seeds and membranes)

3/4 of a red onion

4 large cloves garlic

1/2 cup fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Petunjuk

Husk the Tomatillos:

Carefully peel off the husks and rinse the tomatillos to remove the sticky residue from their skins. Cut them in half and place them cut side down on a large, foil-lined cookie sheet.

Prep the Other Veggies:

Split the tomato and two of the fresh jalapeños in half and place them cut side down on the cookie sheet.

Roast:

Char the veggies at 450 F for 15-25 minutes. You can also turn the broiler on high for the last 2-3 minutes of the cooking time to really char them a little more. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Puree:

Dump the roasted veggies and any juices from the tray into a food processor. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, citrus juices, and spices and pulse to combine.

Add the Heat:

Gradually add some of the remaining fresh jalapeño with the seeds and membranes to make the salsa medium spicy. I used about 3/4 of the fresh pepper, but the amount of spice is up to you.

Adjust Flavors:

Taste the salsa and adjust the amount of lemon and lime juice and spices to taste. Keep in mind that the salsa will taste less spicy when it is cold and when it is served with other foods.

Enjoy:

Serve the tomatillo green salsa right away with tortilla chips or other Mexican dishes. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 week. The salsa will thicken dramatically in the fridge from the naturally occurring pectin in the tomatillos, but simply stir it well before serving.
