Peel the tomatillos and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
1 pound tomatillos
Peel and quarter the onion. Add the onion to the baking sheet.
1 small white onion
Remove the stems from the jalapenos. If you want a mild salsa, remove all seeds and ribs. For medium salsa, remove seeds and stems from just one. For spicy salsa, leave all seeds and ribs intact. Place on the baking sheet.
2 jalapeno peppers
Move a rack in the oven to the top most position. Turn your oven on to broil. Place the baking sheet on the top rack with the oven left ajar for the heat to escape.
Broil until char starts to form on the vegetables, approximately 5 minutes. Flip them over to char the second side, approximately 5 more minutes.
Place all of the roasted vegetables and any juices from the pan into a food processor. Add the juice of 1/2 lime, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Process until you reach your desired consistency.
1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 lime, salt
Let cool to room temperature or chill before serving.
