Tomatillo Salsa
This is the intermediate level version of my Simple Green Salsa. This version has a deeper flavor profile, but granted it does take slightly more prep than the four-ingredient substitute. If you aren't rushing out the door in a few minutes, always make this version instead!

Instructions
  1. Remove the tomatillos from husks. Note: when husked, tomatillos are naturally sticky, so briefly run them under water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Put the cleaned tomatillos in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn off heat, and let soak for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the water and purée the tomatillos in a food processor until it reaches a saucy consistency.
  4. Add cilantro, serrano chile, onion, garlic, and lime juice. Pulse until combined.
  5. Season with salt and sugar to taste.
Recipe Notes

The reason I don't provide an exact measurement for the sugar is because you can go either way with it. The onions will already provide a decent amount of sweetness, so you can add just 1-2 tablespoons of sugar--or, if you like things really sweet, go for more.
