    Recipe Introduction


    "Tomatillos, lots of garlic and spicy jalapenos charred under the broiler give this salsa a rich, earthy flavor. If you like your salsa very hot, added roasted Jamaican scotch bonnets instead of the jalapeno."

    List of Ingredients




    Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa



    1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
    1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
    3 fresh jalapeno peppers
    1 bunch fresh cilantro
    1/2 cup water, or as needed
    salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe




    Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.

    Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
