Ingredients

10 tomatillos (husks removed)
1 to 2 serrano or jalapeno peppers (stemmed, halved and seeds removed for a milder salsa (see spice level notes below))
4 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
½ medium onion (diced)
⅓ cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

1
Char in the oven. Turn the top broiler on in the oven and set a rack about 4 inches below the broiler. Place the tomatillos, peppers, and garlic on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, then flip everything and broil 4 to 5 minutes more, until slightly charred and blistered. Let cool to the touch.
2
Pulse together. Transfer the tomatillos and peppers (see note below on heat level) to a food processor or high-powered blender. Peel the garlic and add that, along with the onion, cilantro, and salt. Pulse a few times, until your desired texture is reached.
3
Serve. Pour the salsa verde into a serving bowl and enjoy!
