Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed (12-15)
  • ½ large Vidalia or Spanish onion
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 4-6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Juice and zest from 1 large lime
  • ½ packed cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatillos, onion, peppers, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 20 minutes.
  • Let vegetables cool enough to peel garlic and remove seeds and charred skin from the peppers.
  • Transfer all to a blender or food processor, including accumulated juices and oil. Blend until smooth (be sure to leave space for steam to escape when blending hot ingredients).
  • Next, blend in lime juice, zest, cilantro, and honey.
  • Serve with chips, or over steak, chicken, pork, seafood, fish, or eggs. Leftover salsa can be frozen in a freezer bag up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat on medium-low when ready to use, or serve at room temperature.

Notes

*Salsa can be made 3 days ahead of using. Cover and chill. Also, leftover salsa can be frozen in a freezer bag up to 3 months.
