Notes
- Tomatillos. To prepare them, you need to remove the husk, wash them and pat them dry. Use 4 to 6 large tomatillos if they are on the smaller side.
- Garlic cloves. Do not peel them until they are roasted; the skin protects them from burning.
- Serrano chili peppers, if you want it less spicy, use jalapeños seeded. If you can't find fresh chiles, use Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
- Cilantro. Use fresh cilantro with bright green</a> leaves and sprigs.
