How to Make Salsa Verde

Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
Remove the husks from the tomatillos, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water and dry.
Arrange the tomatillos, garlic cloves, jalapenos, and sliced onion on the lined baking sheet.
Broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are lightly charred.
Transfer all the roasted ingredients to a blender.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
Blend until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
Taste and adjust salt, lime, or spice level if needed.
Chill before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later enjoyment.
