- 1 small onion peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/2 bunch cilantro stemmed
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 tablespoons salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine tomatillos, jalapenos and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil for about 5 to 8 minutes or until softened. With a slotted spoon, remove from.
- In a blender, combine tomatillos, chili peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse a few times until blended to process to desired consistency.

Notes
If you want to mellow the spice a little, use the same amount of peppers and scrape off the seeds before blending. This way, you get the full flavor of the jalapenos but without a lot of heat.
