Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel the husk off of the tomatillos. Rinse Tomatoes and Tomatillos and cut out the stems to make it easier later. Roast in a 400F oven for about 20 minutes in an oven safe dish. Prepare the rest of the ingredients while they are roasting.

  2. Saute the onion and garlic cloves in a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Cook until the onion is just starting to brown. Remove from heat.

  3. Add all of the ingredients in this recipe- including any liquid from the tomato/tomatillo dish to a blender and pulse until combined but not perfectly smooth. You want small chunks of the vegetables in the sauce.
