Ingredients

1-1/4 Lb tomatillos, husked

1 Jalapeño, stem removed (before or after roasting)

2/3 cup yellow onion, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 - 1 tsp monk sugar to taste

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

3 tbsp water, then more as desired

Direction

Move oven rack about 4-inch below broiler element, preheat broiler to high heat.

Place tomatillos and jalapeno on a baking sheet then place in oven and roast about 4 - 5 minutes until charred on top (keep a close on on things as they can char pretty quickly - especially the pepper).

Rotate veggies to opposite side and roast until charred on opposite side, about 3 - 5 minutes longer.

Slice pepper then add to a food processor along with onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, sugar, lime juice, water and tomatillos (and any juices on pan).

Pulse several times to a coarse puree. Stir in more water to thin if desired. Chill through in refrigerator in an airtight container.
