8 servings
- 1 lb tomatillos (about 8 medium), husked and rinsed
- 1 jalapeño, halved and seeded
- ½ cup scallion greens (green tops only), roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2–4 tbsp water, as needed to adjust consistency
Instructions
- 1
Position an oven rack 4–6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Arrange the tomatillos and jalapeño halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for 8–10 minutes, until the tomatillo skins are blistered and charred in spots and the flesh is soft and beginning to collapse.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatillos and jalapeño cool for 5 minutes. Transfer them along with any accumulated juices to a blender or food processor.
