Ingredients

1 lb
tomatillo, husked and rinsed
1/2
white onion, peeled and quartered
1
jalapeno pepper, stem removed
1
garlic clove, grated
1/4 cup
fresh cilantro
1
lime, zest and juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Turn the broiler on high.

Arrange the tomatillos, onion, and jalapeño on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes flipping once half way through cooking.

Once the vegetables are charred, remove the from the oven and transfer to a food processor. Add garlic, cilantro, lime zest and juice and pulse until everything is broken down but the mixture remains just a bit chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Salsa verde can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

**Note: If you'd like the Salsa Verde slightly less spicy, cut the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds and membranes before broiling.
