Directions
In a large pot, bring tomatillos, onion, and garlic to a boil and simmer 5-10 minutes until tomatillos change color. Drain water and cool in large colander. Stir in chiles. Process in food processor in batches until well-chopped but not pureed, then return all to large pot and stir well to mix evenly. Place in pint-size freezer bags, about 1-½ cups per bag, squeezing out air.
When ready to use, thaw salsa. Place 2 Tbsp. oil in skillet and heat on medium until hot. Add salsa. Cook and stir about 3-5 minutes. Add broth or water if needed, and add salt, cilantro, or other desired seasoning to taste.
