Ingredients
- 2 cups tomatillos
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup cilantro
- 3/4 – 1 cup basil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- Splash of apple cider vinegar (optional)
Directions
- Turn your broiler on and let the oven get very hot
- Peel your garlic cloves and put them on a piece of tinfoil with some olive oil. Then wrap the tinfoil up into a little pouch so all of the cloves are covered
- Take the husks off your tomatillos, wash them, and then pat dry
- Halve or quarter your onion and place them on a baking sheet with your whole tomatillos and garlic pouch
- Note: do not put oil on your onion or tomatillos because want them to slightly char
- Place under hot broiler for ~15 or so minutes. You want the tomatillos to look blistered, the onion to be charred, and the garlic to have softened
- Transfer your tomatillos, onion, and garlic to a blender and blend until everything is mixed
- Add your cilantro and basil (or any other herbs you like). It might be helpful to add them in waves so everything can blend easily
- Add lime juice and a pinch of salt then blend. Taste again to determine whether you would like to include the vinegar or not and whether you think it needs more lime juice or salt. Adjust until flavor is right for you!
