Preparation

Step 1

Combine tomatillos, garlic, chile and cilantro in a blender jar or food processor.  Add 1/4 cup water and a generous 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Process to a coarse puree.  If using a blender, begin blending on low, at first pulsing to get the mixture moving evenly through the blender blades.  Pour into a salsa dish and thin with a little more water if necessary to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency.  Taste and season with additional salt, if you think necessary.  Serve right away.
