Tomatillo Salsa

By akselden

Ingredients

• 2 lb. tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 2 garlic beads, cloves separated, unpeeled
• 1-2 Serrano chilies
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbs. canola oil
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• Juice of 2 limes

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare medium hot fire in grill.

In grilling words, toss together tomatillos, garlic, chilies, salt and oil. Set wok on grill; cook, stirring often, until tomatillos are soft and starting to burst, and garlic and chilies are charred, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to bowl and let cool slightly. Remove stems from chilies; for a less spicy salsa, remove seeds. Peel garlic cloves.

Transfer tomatillos, garlic and chilies to blender add cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse until salsa is somewhat smooth, leaving some texture. Season with salt. Makes about 2 cups.
