Ingredients
Instructions
Turn broiler to 500° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place tomatillos and peppers on the cookie sheet and place under the boiler. Broil ONE minute and remove chilis, placing them in a blender or food processor. Return tomatillos to the oven and broil an additional 3 minutes, then turn them over and broil 5 more minutes. When they have changed from a vibrant green to a brownish green and have some char on them, remove from the oven.
Add onion, garlic, cilantro and salt to the blender, add charred tomatillos.
Blend for 1 minute. Taste a little, if it is too spicy, you can add a little sugar to calm it down a bit. Just add a little at a time. You don’t want a sweet salsa verde.
Squeeze the lime over the salsa and stir to combine.
Pour into a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips or your favorite meal.
