Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb tomatillos
  • 1 to many hot peppers to taste
  • ¼ c sweet onions
  • 1 small bunch cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Put hot peppers and cilantro in the food processor and pulse until well chopped.

Notes

This recipe can be made without a food processor by simply chopping all ingredients and combining.
To add more flavor try roasting the tomatillos prior to chopping!  To roast, place tomatillos under a hot broiler or on a grill. Roast until dark and blackened in spots – approximately 4 to 5 minutes -- then follow above recipe.
