Step 1

Preheat oven to 500 degrees, or the broil setting.

Step 2

Toss the garlic cloves in a bit of oil and salt, then wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Set into the oven and bake for a total of 20 minutes.

Step 3

Slice tomatillos and poblano peppers (or other peppers, if using) in half lengthwise and set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides up.

Step 4

Set into oven and bake for 12 minutes. Be sure not to get too close to the top heating element or the tops will burn too much.

Step 5

Remove all items from the oven and cool slightly. Peel the pepper skins away and discard.

Step 6

Place tomatillos, chili peppers, roasted garlic, cilantro, and lime juice into a food processor. Process until smooth.

Step 7

Salt to taste and serve!
