I'm a big fan of all things spicy and delicious, you guys know that right? A great salsa or rich delicious Enchilada Sauce - those are flavors that make me a happy gal!

So today I'm excited to share another easy delicious recipe and though we just celebrated Cinco de Mayo, this recipe fits for grilling week because it's made right on the grill!

And you're saying salsa.... made on grill? You bet and it all starts with tomatillos!

Tomatillos have a unique, delicious flavor!

Roasted Tomatillos Salsa

What are tomatillos?

You may have seen these in the store and wondered what they are?

They look like a tomato but with a thin papery husk. Though they are cousins of tomatoes they don't taste like them at all.

The thin shell or husk is peeled off and discarded prior to roasting. Underneath it the surface is sticky! No worries though, just give them a quick rinse and they are ready to roast or use.

Can you eat raw tomatillos?

You can, but they are quite acidic. Roasting them mellows the flavor, making them perfect for this dip!

Prepare the vegetables and roast them right on the grill.

Roasting Tomatillos

When it came to roasting I used my Hamilton Beach® Indoor Searing Grill. For those days when you don't want to grill outdoors, this is the perfect solution!

The grill is compact but large enough for steaks, chicken or roasting your favorite salsa to perfection! I set it right on the countertop and it worked great!

Charred vegetables on the grill.
Charing the vegetables gives them a smokey flavor!

Homemade Salsa Verde

As the tomatillos roast on the Indoor Searing Grill, they slightly change color and get light char marks. It only takes about 15 minutes.

This grill worked great! It would be a great option for apartment dwellers or a day.you just don't want to go outside!

What if I do not have an indoor grill?

The vegetables can be roasted in the oven under the broiler. Keep a close eye on them as they are roasting. Allow them to blister and char, but do not allow them to blacken.

You can also roast them in a heavy skillet on the stovetop. Again, allow them to blister and char but not burn.

If you're roasting indoors on a grill or on the stove be sure to vent the area well as the aroma can be quite pungent!

I speak from experience as I've actually had the aroma of roasted chilies permeate my contacts and of course that can be painful (and dangerous)!

Grocery list for Salsa Verde Recipe

  • tomatillos - they look a lot like a tomato, but with a husk and have a distinctive tart flavor.
  • Anaheim chili - a mild chili often used in Mexican cooking
  • jalapeno - a spicy chili perfect to add heat to your dish
  • chicken stock - though you can use vegetable stock, I prefer the flavor chicken stock gives this dip
  • cilantro - strong and distinctive fresh flavor
  • onion - roasting them gives a smokey flavor
  • salt - to flavor the sauce
  • lime - to add bright, zesty flavor!
