Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • knife
  • blender
  • serving bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs fresh tomatillos
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 jalapenos (seeds taken out)
  • salt n pepper
  • 1 Small bulb garlic (cut laterally)
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
    Take outer shell off the tomatillo, rinse, and return to cutting board. Coarsly chop (quarter) and put them on a foil lined baking sheet. Cut jalapenos and take out seeds and add them to the lined baking sheet. Cut garlic bulbs (laterally), Put oil and salt and pepper on top, and put on roasting pan. Cover the whole sheet pan lightly with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake for at least 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Take roasted tomatillos out and let cool, 5-10 minutes. Once cool, put in a blender with chopped cilatro, jalapeños, roasted garlic, lime juice, and salt/pepper (to preference).
  • Put in your favorite dish and/or surround with chips. I love this green sauce in my enchiladas! 😋

Notes

Add a dollop of sour cream for more creaminess. Garnish with cilantro or diced tomatoes, as desired. 
This is a great recipe for a simple green sauce, although may want to keep Jalapeños to 1 per batch for sauces.
