Tomatillo Salsa
(from New York Times)

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
¼ cup chopped white onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Cayenne or minced jalapeño to taste, optional
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine tomatillos, poblanos if you are using them, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and cayenne or chili. Let stand at room temperature for up to an hour, or refrigerate for up to ½ day (bring back to room temperature before serving).
2. Taste and adjust seasoning, then stir in lime juice and half the cilantro; taste and adjust seasoning again, then garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve.
