Grilled Tomatillo Salsa

Source of Recipe


Fine Cooking



List of Ingredients



• 10 medium tomatillos, husked and washed
  
• ½ cup chopped white onion
  
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  
• 1 medium clove garlic, crushed
  
• 1 to 2 medium serrano chiles (seeded, if you like), coarsely chopped
  
• Kosher salt
  
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  
• ¼ cup chopped scallions
  






Instructions



1. Prepare a high charcoal or gas grill fire. Grill the tomatillos, covered, until charred on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until charred on the other side, 3 minutes more.
   
   
2. In a blender, purée the tomatillos, onion, lime juice, garlic, serranos, and a pinch of salt. Blend into a smooth sauce.
   
   
3. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. (If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Let the salsa come to room temperature before serving.) Add the cilantro and scallions, and season to taste with salt just before serving.
