Step by Step Instructions
- Peel off papery covers and wash tomatillosto remove stickiness. Bring water to boil and add fruit. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, just until soft, not breaking. Remove small fruit first.
- If you don't like too much heat, remove pepper seeds. In food processor add drained and cooled tomatillos, garlic, chili pepper, cilantro and salt. Grind and taste. Start with small amounts of pepper and salt and add more if you wish. I love lots of cilantro in this.
- Put mixture in bowl for dipping.
