Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 Whole tomatillos, peeled
• 1 7 Ounces (oz) can jalapeños, drained
• 0.5 Head lettuce, torn
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 Cups fresh cilantro, torn
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) cumin, ground
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.25 Small onion, minced
• 0.25 Cup chicken broth

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the tomatillos and jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes until they are slightly charred and softened. This will enhance their flavors.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, lettuce, garlic, fresh cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until you achieve your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour the tomatillo mixture and chicken broth into the saucepan with the onions. Stir well to combine.
5. Cook the salsa over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6. Allow the salsa to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
