(10,337 posts)line a baking sheet with tinfoil and place the Tomatillas cut side down and put them under a broiler for 8 to 10 min.
when they cool enough to handle, throw them in a food processor along with
One small white onion quarterd
One bunch of Cilantro, stems cut off
One of more chopped Jalapeno
one tsp salt.
Process till you're happy.
eat.
Quick, easy and everybody I've served it to raves about it. This from Tucson where salsa is held to very high standards.

(54,987 posts)peel (the husk) and wash the tomatillos (say three to a jalapeno?), de-stem and seed the jalapenos (or not) and throw everything in the blender. salt to taste.

(39,961 posts)I'm eating some heavenly salsa verde with chips! Went to a party to watch college football, and brought it along, using one of the recipes on allrecipes.com that was linked to. Freaking awesome when I used lime juice .
I made about a quart of it, and there was barely any left.
