- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar

Instructions
- Set your oven to broil.
- Slice the tomatillos and peppers in half, then set them onto a roasting pan.
- Slice the onion into thick strips and set them onto the roasting pan, along with the garlic.
- Roast the ingredients for 10 - 20 minutes, or until the skins char and puff up. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Peel off the skins and discard.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
- Add the tomatillos, peppers, onion and garlic to a food processor or blender along with the cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, cumin and salt. Process until smooth.
- With the blender or food processor running, slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture to let it emulsify. It should take about 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken up slightly.
- Serve as desired!
Notes
- Makes about 4 cups.
