Ingredients

Veggie Box banana peppers Veggie Box organic tomatillos 1 bunch of green onions/scallions 1 sweet onion (1 cup quartered) 1Veggie Box jalapeno (more if you want it spicier) 2 cloves of Veggie Box garlic 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar Sea salt Cilantro

Instructions

Preheat your grill (aiming for around 400F). Peel off tomatillo husks and rinse any sticky residue and de-stem and slice the jalapeno. Grill the green onions, tomatillos, and banana peppers for about 2-3 minutes until they start to blister. Continue to flip every 3-5 minutes. The green onions should be done in a few minutes- the peppers may take up to 20 minutes depending on size. Let cool for several minutes, then remove bulbs and roughly chop grilled green onions, de-stem and de-seed banana peppers, and halve tomatillos and peppers if needed. Add everything to food processor including quartered white onion, garlic cloves, jalapeno, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until desired consistency (add a tbsp. of water if needed). Add salt to taste.
