Instructions
- Set your oven rack to the top position and set the oven to broil.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the baking sheet with olive oil or pan spray.
- Rinse the jalapenos, then slice the jalapenos in half. Destem and deseed the jalapenos.
- Remove the husk from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly. Slice them in half.
- Place the sliced jalapenos, tomatillo halves, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet on the highest rack of the preheated oven and broil for 6-7 minutes until the tomatillos darken and get some charring. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Add the roasted tomatillos, jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor (or blender).
- Pulse the food processor 5-7 times to combine the ingredients.
- Add the onions, table salt, and lime juice to the food processor and process for 15 seconds at high speed.*If you prefer a smoother salsa, continue to process in intervals until you reach your desired consistency. To thin out the sauce, add one tablespoon of olive oil while the processor is running. This will create a silkier smooth sauce.
- Store the salsa verde refrigerated in an airtight container. It will thicken as it cools.
