Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season both sides of tomatillo slices with salt. Cook slices until lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and let cool 10 minutes.


Pulse tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender until smooth, about 20 seconds; season with salt and pepper.
