Tomatillo salsa

This recipe is great for dipping with crisps, but also works well as a sauce for chicken or pork tacos. When buying tomatillos, look for ones with a relatively tight-fitting husk that covers almost the whole fruit. (A little peeking out at the bottom is fine.)

35 min4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tomatillos, husks removed and halved
  • 1 white onion, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 1 to 2 serrano peppers, stemmed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Juice from half a lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooking oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Wonder Oven on Roast to 425℉. Place tomatillos, onion, and peppers on the bake pan. Drizzle and toss with oil, then season with salt. Roast until slightly charred (about 20 to 25 minutes).

  2. 2

    Remove the Bake Pan from the oven. Set aside to let tomatillos, onion, and peppers cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Add tomatillos: Once at room temperature, add tomatillos, onion, and peppers to the 750mL vessel, along with any juices in the Bake Pan. Add in the garlic, cilantro, and cumin.

  4. 4

    Attach the blender blade to the 750mL vessel, then place on the blender base and blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Remove the 750mL vessel from the blender and remove the blades. Squeeze in lime juice and stir in salt. Adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice as needed.

  6. 6

    As you adjust the seasoning, use your favorite tortilla chips to taste. There is a different amount of salt on the chips depending on your brand, so this will impact how much you season the salsa.
