Print Recipe

A smoky, vibrant, and slightly fiery roasted salsa verde recipe perfect for small batch canning and capturing summer flavors in a jar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers, stemmed (leave seeds in for extra heat)
  • 3 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1 small white onion, quartered
  • A small handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • About 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or oven broiler to high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. Prepare the vegetables: husk and rinse tomatillos, trim stems from jalapeños, peel the onion, and leave garlic cloves unpeeled.
  3. Roast the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet or on a baking sheet under the broiler, turning occasionally, until blackened spots appear and vegetables soften, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Cool the garlic slightly, then peel off the skins.
  5. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and about 1/4 cup water.
  6. Pulse until desired salsa texture is reached (chunky or smooth).
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  8. For canning: Pour hot salsa into sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
  9. Let jars cool undisturbed for 12-24 hours until sealed.
  10. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

Notes

Keep pan or broiler hot enough to get blackened spots without steaming. Roast garlic unpeeled for easier peeling and mellower flavor. Adjust heat by removing jalapeño seeds or substituting milder peppers. When canning, follow safe water bath procedures and sterilize jars properly. If salsa is too thick, stir in water or lime juice before serving.
