Cilantro, chopped **Instructions** 1. Heat a comal, cast-iron, or heavy bottomed pan to medium-high heat. Place the tomatillos, garlic, onion, and Serrano peppers directly on the hot pan. They will become soft and slightly blackened, about 7 – 10 min. 2. Flip tomatillos, peppers, onion, and garlic over and continue to char for 10 more minutes. 3. Remove ingredients from griddle and set aside. 4. Start grinding ingredients in molcajete one at a time. Once the desired consistency is reached, add the next ingredient and keep grinding. Season with salt and pepper and serve. 5. If you do not have a molcajete you can use a blender or food processor. Simply place all the cooked ingredients in the machine and pulse until the desired consistency is reached. 6. Season to taste.
