Ingredients
- 1/2 pound fresh tomatillos
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper (start here, add more to taste)
- 3 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 pinch salt, or to taste
- 1 pinch sugar, or to taste 
 
Adjust the heat of this quick but tasty salsa by varying the quantity of jalapeno pepper. Can be
made by hand by finely chopping all ingredients and mashing them together. Can be doubled or tripled
if desired.
 
Directions
  • Husk and rinse the tomatillos to remove the sticky covering. Heat a heavy skillet. Cut
    tomatillos in half and place in skillet, cut side down, until they begin to char a bit ( you can
    skip this step if time is short, but it does add a nice flavor).
  • Put tomatillos in food

if more salt, sugar or jalapeno is needed. (If adding jalapeno at this point, chop fairly fine
before adding to processor.)
