Directions

Video Instructions HERE

Set oven to broil high and line baking sheet with foil.
Remove husk from tomatillo's. Quarter onion and remove outer membrane. Wash peppers and cilantro.
Cut head off of garlic, rub with olive oil and wrap tight in foil. Place on baking sheet with tomatillos, peppers, and onion.
Broil High for 8 minutes. Flip ingredients and broil for 5 minutes or until tomatillos are plump (not popped), peppers are charred, onion is soft and garlic is roasted. Note - the garlic may need more time so place the foil wrapped garlic ball in the onion until roasted.
While roasting, cut lower stems from cilantro and lime in half - set aside until ready to blend.
Remove tops of pepper(s), onion buts, squeeze garlic from garlic head, and throw into blender with cilantro, salt and pepper, squeeze lime into blender. Blend on high until smooth consistency. If too thick, add a dash of water. Taste and adjust flavor. Note - if too salty add a dash of white vinegar to balance it out.
Serve or store in the fridge. It should keep in the fridge for 5 days but we doubt it will last that long.
