STEPS

1

Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet.

2

Place under the broiler and cook for a few minutes, removing the garlic cloves first as soon as they are toasted to avoid bitterness.

3

Continue roasting the tomatillos and jalapenos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool, keeping the charred parts for flavor.

4

Blend the tomatillos, peppers, garlic, and cilantro in a blender. Add water as needed to facilitate blending.
