Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• preheat the oven's broiler. arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. set aside to cool. don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. they add a really nice flavor.
• place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. season with salt and pepper to taste. refrigerate until serving.
