Garden-Fresh Salsa Verde
Ingredients
- 1 lb. tomatillos
- 2 medium jalapeno peppers
- 3-4 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
- 2 Tbs. Calizo Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Lemon
- 4 green onions, chopped
- ¼ C. fresh cilantro leaves
- Calizo Puttanesca Naturale honey
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
Set aside.
Step 2
Husk tomatillos and cut in half. Arrange tomatillos in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, along with whole jalapeno peppers and garlic cloves. Drizzle with Calizo Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Lemon and toss gently to coat.
Step 3
Place baking sheet in pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from oven and let cool for several minutes.
Step 4
Once cool enough to handle, cut jalapeno peppers in half and remove seeds before transferring the roasted veggies to a blender or food processor. Add green onion, cilantro, lime juice, ground cumin, and oregano. Pulse until ingredients are combined, but the mixture is still a little chunky.
Step 5
Taste and add a drizzle of honey to sweeten, if desired. Season with Calizo Puttanesca Naturale and sea salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately or freeze for later use.
Enjoy!
