2 large poblano peppers
8 ounces tomatillos, husks and cores removed
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/4 cup roasted garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly rub the poblanos and tomatillos with vegetable oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. 2 Place the poblanos in a paper bag, close, and let stand for about 15 minutes.  Set the tomatillos aside to cool. 3 Once poblanos are cool enough to handle, peel and remove the stems and seeds. 4 Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and puree until fairly smooth.
