- 9 tomatillos fresh, husk removed and rinsed
- 1/2 yellow onion cut into thirds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeño
- salt and black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup coriander fresh

Toss the tomatillos, garlic, pepper and onions with the olive oil and place evenly on a baking tray.
Bake until the tomatillos and onions are soft, 15-20 minutes. If necessary, remove the garlic sooner to avoid scorching.
Remove the stem, ribs and seeds from the jalapeño (or keep them in if you want it hot).
Add the roasted vegetables, fresh coriander and lime juice into a blender and puree until smooth.
Adjust the salt and pepper amounts, if necessary and transfer to a bowl.
