Editor's note: Use this salsa to make Deborah Schneider's Tacos of Carnitas Roasted with Orange, Milk, and Pepper . Tomatillos look like small green tomatoes in sticky, papery husks. In fact, they are relatives of the tomato and are a type of ground cherry. They are native to Central America. Fresh-tasting and excitingly tart, this chunky salsa is great on grilled meat, tostadas, or seafood. It can be made in less than a minute and should be used immediately.

Preparation 1. Wash the tomatillos well with warm water to remove the naturally sticky coating, which is bitter. Cut them into quarters. 2. Pulse the tomatillos in a food processor with the remaining ingredients until a slightly chunky texture is achieved. 3. Taste for salt and serve as soon as possible to enjoy maximum bite and crunch.
