Recipe Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa (Appetizer)

Required Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
• 1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
• 3 fresh jalapeno peppers
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup water, or as needed
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparing/Cooking:

• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet.
• Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes.
• Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor.
• Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally.
• Set aside to cool.
• Scrape and rinse the burnt skins off of the peppers and tomatillos, and place them in a blender with the garlic and cilantro.
• Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Refrigerate until serving.
