Tomatillo Salsa

10 Medium to large tomatillos
2 cloves garlic
1 jalepeno
1 bunch cilantro
2 limes
Salt

Remove the paper like husk of the tomatillos and rinse and place in a foil lined baking dish.
Rinse the jalepeno and place in the dish.
Wrap a whole head of garlic in foil and add to the baking dish.

Roast everything in the baking dish at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes until the tomatillos are soft and brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a food processor, add the cooled tomatillos, and squeeze out 2 of the garlic cloves. The remaining garlic, store in a plastic bag or container in your refrigerator for other uses. It is even good spread on crackers with wine.
Remove the stem and seeds from the jalepeno and add to the food processor.

Rinse the cilantro and cut away the stems and add to the food processor. Squeeze in the juice of a whole lime and add 1 tsp of kosher or sea salt. Process in food processor until blended smooth. Taste for salt and lime and add more as desired.

This salsa will thicken up with time. The tomatillos have a natural pectin in them that acts as a thickener.

I take this salsa to office parties and it is so simple to make and very popular.
