Tomatillo Salsa

7 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Place cumin seeds in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and cook 2 minutes or until toasted. Transfer seeds to a spice or coffee grinder, and process until finely ground.
  2. 2
    Cut 1/4 inch off stem ends of peppers; discard stem ends. Using the tip of a paring knife, carefully remove and discard membranes and seeds, leaving peppers intact.
  3. 3
    Heat skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and tomatillos. Cook 15 minutes, turning frequently (peppers and tomatillos will become speckled with black marks).
  4. 4
    Transfer contents of skillet to a food processor, and puree until smooth. Add the onion, and pulse 5 times or until blended. Pour pepper mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in cumin, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
