12 tomatillos, husked and chopped
1 (7 ounce) can chopped jalapenos, drained
½ head lettuce, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
⅓ cup dried cilantro
3 tablespoons ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
¼ onion, chopped

Steps:

Combine the tomatillos, jalapenos, lettuce, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor; process until chopped to desired consistency.
