Instructions

   Roast the tomatillos, onions and jalapenos for 10-15 minutes, until the tomatillos soften and turn an olive green color, and the onion and jalapenos are caramelized on the edges.

   Puree the mixture until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is a bit too thick for your taste, add 1/4 cup of water.
