Tomatillo Salsa (Salsa Verde): Place tomatillos in a saucepan and barely cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until soft - about 10 minutes.
Place half of the tomatillos in a blender jar. Add the cilantro, garlic, and onion. Blend until smooth. Add the remaining tomatillos, and pulse a few times, just enough to break up any larger pieces. Return sauce to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt.
