Tomatillo Salsa
Recipe by Ed Kernan
This recipe is great for dipping with chips but pairs well as a sauce for chicken or pork tacos. When buying tomatillos, look for ones that have a relatively tight-fitting husk that covers almost the whole fruit. (A little peaking out at the bottom is okay.)

What You'll Need
Ingredients
- 4 tomatillos, husks removed and halved
- 1 white onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1 to 2 serrano peppers, stemmed and halved lengthwise
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ cup cilantro leaves
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice from half a lime
- Salt to taste
- Cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the Wonder Oven on Roast to 425℉. Place tomatillos, onion, and peppers on the bake pan. Drizzle and toss with oil, then season with salt. Roast until slightly charred (about 20 to25 minutes).
Step 2
Remove the Bake Pan from the oven. Set aside to let tomatillos, onion, and peppers cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Once at room temperature, add tomatillos, onion, and peppers to the 750mL vessel, along with any juices in the Bake Pan. Add in the garlic, cilantro, and cumin.
Step 4
Attach the blender blade to the 750mL vessel, then place on the blender base and blend until smooth.
Step 5
Remove the 750mL vessel from the blender and remove the blades. Squeeze in lime juice and stir in salt. Adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice as needed.Â
Tip:
As you adjust the seasoning, use your favorite tortilla chips to taste. There is a different amount of salt on the chips depending on your brand, so this will impact how much you season the salsa.
