Note
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the chiles before blending. For extra heat, leave them in or add a jalapeño.
This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will meld and deepen over time.
While traditionally some recipes roast the tomatillos, this raw version offers a brighter, fresher flavor profile. If you prefer a roasted taste, char the tomatillos and chiles under a broiler before blending.
Sugar helps balance the natural acidity of the tomatillos. Adjust to taste based on the ripeness of your fruit.
