Tomatillo Salsa

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, washed and cut into quarters
• 1 to 2 large jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/2 small onion, cut in half
• 1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

Place the tomatillos, jalapenos and water in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree just until chunky. Then add the remaining ingredients and puree about 2 minutes more, or until no large chunks remain. This salsa keeps in the refrigerator, in a covered container, about 3 days.
