Description

Roasted Tomatillos and peppers blend with avocado for a fresh and creamy salsa verde


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs of tomatillos (about 11 medium)
  • 1 cubanelle pepper
  • 2 jalepeno peppers
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 large avacado
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • Juice from 1 large lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Pinch of chili powder or chili lime seasoning to taste
  • More lime to taste

Instructions

  1. Pre Heat Oven to broil
  2. Remove the papery husks off the tomatillos, rinse and pat dry. Cut the peppers length wise and remove seeds from jalapenos if you want less heat.
  3. Place the peppers and tomatillos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with oil and a light sprinkle of sea salt. Broil for 6-10 minutes or until the peppers skins began to blacken and the tomatillos are browned.
  4. Remove from oven and place the tomatillos and peppers into a heat safe container with a tight lid for 10 minutes. This will steam and further cook them and make it easier for the thin skin of the peppers to be peeled off. I placed them in pot with a lid.
  5. Peel off the thin skin of the peppers.
  6. Blend all the remaining ingredients with the roasted veggies until creamy and adjust lime juice and salt to taste. Add a pinch of chili pepper to taste.
  7. Store in fridge for 3-4 days.
