Ingredients
2 lbs tomatillos, husks removed and washed (see note)
1 large yellow onion, peeled and thickly sliced
2 jalapeños, halved (seeds removed)
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 Tbs vegetable oil
2 limes, divided
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Add the tomatillos, onions, jalapeños, garlic and oil to a large roasting pan. Zest the limes over the vegetables. Cut the limes in half, and add to roasting pan. Cook for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Let cool for 10 minutes. Squeeze lime juice into a blender or food processor. Discard limes. Add all of the vegetables and liquid from the roasting pan to the blender. Add cilantro, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Serve as a salsa, or use as a base for enchilada sauce.

    Note: Tomatillos have a sticky residue on their skin after removing the husks. Blanch for 30 seconds in simmering water, or wash/soak in hot water to remove the residue.
