I’m not sure if I’ll do every Sunday Supper post in September because my mind is fully dedicated to ice cream. However, it’s a nice change to have something to eat that isn’t super cold or sweet. I could make savoury ice cream (or not) or how about some salsa? This week the theme is Tailgating and salsa is the perfect dip for a game.
I got some tomatillos in my CSA box and I always think of salsa verde when I see them. I kind of winged this recipe by roasting the ingredients first which just made the salsa so darn addictive. This is a very garlicy salsa… there’s a reason why I put the roasted garlic first in the name. Feel free to adjust but honestly roasted garlic is amazing.
Roasted Garlic & Tomatillo Salsa Verde
Ingredients
- 1 Pound tomatillos husked
- 1/2 Large onion
- 1 Bulb of garlic
- 1 Jalapeno pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Cut the larger tomatillos in half, roughly chop the onion and jalapeno, peel the garlic and add to a foil lined cookie sheet. Toss with the olive oil and roast for about 30 minutes at 425º or until some of the edges start to get brown and the tomatillos are soft.
- When cooked, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Store in the fridge.

Salsa verde with roasted garlic sounds so much better than the non roasted garlic salsa verde I make. Great recipe!
Ohhhh, looks so good! Love the flavors you have your dip!!
I love anything w/ roasted garliic and tomatillo is one of my favorites. This I MUST try.
oooh this dip sounds just fabulous! I am looking forward to trying this recipe and I just happen to have tomatillos
No adjustment needed here. Love me some good garlic flavor… the stronger the better. Love that you roasted the tomatillos. This recipe is made of win!
Love all the flavors in here–must give this a try for our next dinner party!

There’s just nothing better than tomatillo salsa! YUM!
What a fresh, delicious salsa verde! I bet the roasted garlic really makes this spectacular!
I’m a sucker for salsa verde, and I LOVE the addition of roasted garlic.

So glad you posted this recipe! We’ve had 2-3 poudns of tomatillos in our CSA for the past 4 weeks and I’ve been running out of ideas! I’m going to make a huge batch of this and take it to work.
How can you go wrong with garlic??
Love the roasted garlic in there!
Honestly, roasted garlic IS amazing. I can never have enough! This salsa looks just delicious!

We are big salsa verde fans in this house. I actually have 7 tomatillo plants growing in my green house so we are going to be eating tons of it soon. If you have never tried it before it goes incredibly with a burger.

Oh, great idea. I’ve been stuffing it in quesadillas, the burger sounds like a perfect change.
I have to admit that I see tomatillos at the store and always think about getting them and making salsa but for some reason I haven’t so far. You are giving me the nudge to get them next time. I do very much enjoy a good salsa verde.
Now that’s different! That looks really yummy.
