8 tomatillos, husks removed and fruit washed well so the skin is no longer sticky
2/3 cups fresh cilantro
1 red onion, cut into thick slices (about 1 inch)
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed (if you want mild salsa, omit the jalapeno)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Instructions
Heat your grill
Drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatillos, jalapeno, and red onion slices along with a sprinkle of salt
Grill the vegetables until they are charred and softened
Add the tomatillos and red onion to a food processor
Slice the jalapeno in half and remove all ribs and seeds. Add the jalapeno according to these heat levels:
Spicy – entire jalapeno. Medium – 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno. If you want mild salsa leave out the jalapeno entirely.
To the tomatillos, red onion, and jalapeno, add the lime juice, cilantro, and the minced garlic
Blend until everything is pureed to the consistency you desire
Taste and add salt
Let this sit in the fridge for at least a few hours so it completely cools down and the flavors can meld together (it will get a bit less spicy as it sits in the fridge, too)
