Tomatillo Salsa

10 tomatillos, remove husks
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, mined fine
2 jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup fresh cilanto leaves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse clean.  Place tomatillos in a stainless steal pot and cover tomatillos with water.  Bring pot with tomatillos to a boil, and then turn the temperature down to a simmer.  Simmer tomatillos until they soften and begin to burst, this should take about 10-12 minutes.  Drain tomatillos and place in a food processor and add garlic, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.  Pulse several time, you can pulse until you get the desired consistency.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can store salsa in the refrigerator for several days in a covered container.
