Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds Fresh Tomatillos 8-9
  • 1 Sweet onion chopped + caramelized Caramelized (this step makes all the difference!)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 2-3 Jalapeno Peppers Remove stems and seeds
  • 1 serrano pepper Optional. This will add heat!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Add more to taste after blending
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure Maple syrup 1/4 teaspoon sugar may be substituted
  • 2 Cloves Garlic 3 may be used if you love garlic!

Instructions
 

  • Turn on your oven to broil. Move rack to the 1st or 2nd row closer to the broiler. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
    Start your onions first. Chop them up and add to a pan to sauté on low until they caramelize (10-15 minutes). While they are sautéing start your oven-roasted veggies.
    Add tomatillos and jalapeños to foiled tray. Broil for 12-15 minutes turning/flipping occasionally until they start to get some dark roasting spots and the tomatillos are juicy. Remove and allow to cool.
    Place tomatillos, peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, caramelized onions and pure maple syrup in a blender or food processor and pulse until it is a chunky puree.
    Season with more salt and cilantro depending on your desired taste.
    Cool in refrigerator and serve with chips.
    Keep in a sealed container or jar up to 5 days.
