1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed and halved
1 slice red onion (1/2-inch thick center slice)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped or diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped or diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatillos, cut sides down, and pan-roast until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Put in a blender jar and reserve. In the same skillet, pan-roast the onion slice until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and chop coarsely. Add to the blender jar with the tomatillos. Blend to a coarse purée and transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and serve at room temperature. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
