Tomatillo Salsa

We never imagined making tomatillo salsa would be this easy!

First, you just need to find the tomatillos in the grocery store. At Whole Foods, they are in the refrigerated produce section. Tomatillos are sold in the store in their husks. You can also find them at local farmers markets in the summer.

  • 12 Husked Tomatillos

Instructions
 

  • First, you just need to find the tomatillos in the grocery store. At Whole Foods, they are in the refrigerated produce section. Tomatillos are sold in the store in their husks. You can also find them at local farmers markets in the summer.
  • Remove the husks and wash the tomatillos thoroughly. They are a little sticky under the husk.
  • Chop up some onion, garlic, a spicy pepper or two and roast them all at 425 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Once they cool a bit, throw the veggies in the food processor and in less than a minute you will have tomatillo salsa!

Notes

If you don't have an oven in your van you could reduce the quantities and cook either in an Omnia Oven, dutch oven or covered pan.
