Tomatillos resemble green tomatoes but are actually a husk tomato or ground cherry in the gooseberry family. In this salsa we keep them raw to capture their tart, fruity, herbal flavor.
Ingredients
  • 6 tomatillos, husks removed, washed in warm water, and halved
  • ½ cup chopped white onion
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 serrano chile, halved and seeded
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro, washed and towel dried
