- 1 Small Garlic clove peeled

There is literally just one step to this recipe, no need for oven-roasting or boiling water in a pot.

- This salsa is very thick, with the texture of a relish. Season with salt and serve.
Notes
- For this Fresh Tomatillo Salsa Recipe, I used miltomates, smaller than tomatillos, with many seeds. You can use either one to make the salsa.
- *Use Serrano or Japaleno peppers; adjust the amount as you like. It can be mild, medium, or hot. It keeps well for three days in the refrigerator.
- If you feel the salsa needs to be less chunky, add ½ cup water.
