Preparation
- Step 1
Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until softened and olive green. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender. Add the chiles, onion, cilantro, and ¼ cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl, add salt, and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt, and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

Couldn't resist. I ate whole thing with a spoon.
Marinate the onion in 2T of fresh squeezed lime juice and forget the water for a thicker, tastier result.
I put red onion, few cherry tomatoes from garden, Serrano & garlic to cook w/tomatillos. It's yummy to me!
This will be a delicious way to use my planter grown (off the back patio) Cilantro. I’m excited, thank you!
My tomatillos were a little bitter. So I grilled them and added a ripe peach and a clove of garlic. Delicious!
When saying that tomatillos are "more closely related to gooseberries", they mean a plant in the Solenacea family that is also/better known as groud cherries, not the Ribes - a woody shrub- gooseberry.
