Time 25m

Yield about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved and seeded
1/2 large white onion, peeled and separated
1 1/2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
1 cup packed fresh cilantro with stems
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 3 inches below the broiler and set the broiler to high.
  • Toss the tomatillos, pepper and onion with the grapeseed oil in a large bowl. Transfer them to a half-sheet pan and broil until blistered and slightly charred, about 7 minutes. (You'll need to give the pan a shake every now and then to ensure even cooking.)
  • Let the charred vegetables cool slightly and then blend them on high with the cilantro and salt until smooth. With the blender still running, add the xanthan gum and blend 10 seconds more.
  • Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Always serve at room temperature.

This salsa is very good, but it's not as good as my grandmother's recipe.

I made this salsa for a party last weekend, and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it!

This salsa was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

I've been making this salsa for years, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's so versatile. I use it on everything from tacos to pasta to grilled chicken.

This salsa was delicious! I made it with fresh parsley, basil, and mint from my garden, and it was so flavorful. I used it on grilled chicken and fish, and it was also great as a dip for chips and vegetables.
