Tomatillo Salsa Verde

Makes 3 cups

Ingredients:

1½ pounds tomatillos

½ cup chopped white onion

½ cup cilantro leaves

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

¼ teaspoon sugar

2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped

Salt to taste

Instructions:

Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under a broiler for 5-7 minutes to lightly blacken the skin. Place tomatillos, lime juice, onions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers and sugar in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed. Salt to taste. Cool in refrigerator.

Serve with chips or as a salsa accompaniment.
