Salsa Verde

Kitchen Note: Tomatillos are juicy green fruits in the nightshade family that resemble tomatoes. Thanks to their tart, fresh flavor and silky smooth texture, they are a key ingredient in salsas, sauces, and other elements of Mexican and Central American cuisine.
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place tomatillos, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they begin to brown around the edges.
2. Place roasted vegetables in the bowl of a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and process until vegetables are broken up but still slightly chunky.
3. Let salsa cool before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
