Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 – 20 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Salsa Verde Ingredients:
1 lb. tomatillos
2 medium jalapeno peppers
3-4 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
4 green onions, chopped
¼ c. fresh cilantro leaves
¼ c. fresh lime juice
2 t. ground cumin
2 t. dried oregano
Optional: 1 T. honey
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed
baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
- Husk tomatillos and cut in half. Arrange
tomatillos in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, along with whole
jalapeno peppers and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to
coat.
- Place baking sheet in pre-heated oven
for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from oven and let cool
for several minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, cut
jalapeno peppers in half and remove seeds before transferring the roasted
veggies to a blender or food processor. Add green onion, cilantro, lime juice, ground
cumin, and oregano. Pulse until ingredients are combined, but the mixture is
still a little chunky.
- Taste and add a drizzle of honey to sweeten, if desired. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately or freeze for later use. Enjoy!
