Tangy, summery and delicious, I love this very simple green salsa. I like to grill the makings when possible, but this also works very well in the oven.

You will need:

  • 6-8 tomatillos, husks removed
  • 4-6 cloves of garlic, coarsly chopped
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, coarsly chopped
  • Olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

        

   What you do:

  • Quarter the tomatillos, and mix them together with chopped onions and garlic on a sheet of foil.
  • Drizzle liberally with olive oil, then add salt and pepper, and toss together.
  • Put the mix on the grill or in an oven, preheated to 400 degrees.
  • Let it cook for about 25 minutes, until the tomatillos are very soft.
  • Remove from the grill or oven, and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Put the mix into a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • You can serve it immediately warm (great on eggs), but I’d suggest refrigerating it for a few hours. 
  • Serve with chips or use on tacos, eggs, or anything you like.
