1/4 cup minced scallions
3 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
kosher salt
3 to 1 clove garlic, minced (to taste)
1 pound fresh tomatillos
1/4 cup minced cilantro
1/2 cup minced onion
3 tablespoons minced hot chiles
Blanch half tomatillos in boiling water 5 minutes until tender. Core and mince remaining tomatillos. Blend the cooked tomatillos. Combine tomatillo mixture with cilantro, onions, chilis, scallions and lime juice. Add salt to taste. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before serving.
VARIATION
Roast half the husked tomatillos, peeled garlic and peeled whole onion in cast iron skillet or under broiler until lightly charred on the outside. Watch carefully and turn often as they can burn easily. Remove pieces as they are done. Dice tomatillos, garlic and onions. Dice fresh tomatillos. Combine with remaining ingredients. This adds a nice “smoky” flavor to salsa.
