Salsa verde

That is green salsa.. just a quick preparation for tomorrow's dinner.

Ingredients:
- 4 tomatillos
- 6 scallions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 limes
- cilantro
- green chilies as befits your temper

Boil the tomatillos till tender (approx. 12 min), separate them from the water and blend them thoroughly. Mix in finely sliced scallion, mashed garlic, the juice of the limes, chopped cilantro and finely diced chilies - personally I favor less hotness, so I use a relatively mild chili.
Cover and cool in fridge.

UPDATE:
I actually like the result better when leaving out the cilantro and scallions from the salsa verde itself, but rather sprinkle with fresh cilantro and scallion (or onion) on top when you use it.
