Salsa Verde

Admittedly, I'm not a big salsa fan. Salsa Verde it seems is an exception though. I tried it a few weeks ago at a party and immediately needed to recreate it.
I never got the recipe from Hans, so I looked at a couple of recipes and incorporated in what I saw Hans doing. What I created came pretty close to what I'd had at the party.
This salsa is tasty and refreshing.

(Salsa Verde just means 'Green Sauce')
Salsa Verde
2 lbs tomatillos
1 onion, peeled and cut in half
1 jalapeno pepper
2-3 garlic cloves
juice of half a lime
1 poblano pepper roasted
olive oil
salt/pepper to taste

Peel the tomatillos (if they have their husks on when you buy them) and soak them in warm water.

Cut the larger tomatillos in half.
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Fry them until they brown and smell delicious.
Let everything cool and then roughly cut the onion and jalapeno (wear plastic gloves while you do it).

Put everything in the blender, including the poblano and lime juice, then blend to desired chunkiness.

Find some chips and enjoy!
