Instructions

Clean tomatillos by removing the husks and rinsing well. Place tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, turn the tomatillos to ensure even cooking OR
Halve the tomatillos and broil (skin side up) for 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
When the tomatillos are cool enough to handle, remove the stems and put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Now comes the most important part, taste your sauce! Every jalapeño has a spicy life of its own. Some super hot and others not as potent. I seed my jalapeños and start adding slowly. I usually end up using one whole chili pepper, adjusting my recipe to the flavor I like.
