COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Smoked Salsa Verde

  1. Preheat smoker to 250ºF.
  2. Place tomatillo, jalapeños, onion, and garlic cut side-down on a smoking rack. Cook in smoker for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until cooked through. Only smoke the vegetables for about 30-45 minutes and not too heavily. They easily take on smoke and too much will require the salsa to temper in the fridge for a few days.
  3. In a blender, add smoked veggies and rest of ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour into serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips. If your salsa took on too much smoke and the creosote bitterness is too heavy, allow to temper in the fridge for a day or two.
