Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos, husked and halved
  • 2 jalapeños, halved and seeded
  • 1 small onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps

  1. Preheat a grill pan. In a bowl, toss the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion and garlic with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Grill over high heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened and charred in spots, 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and pulse until chunky. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm or at room temperature.
