Preparation
Step 1
In a small saucepan over moderate heat, cover the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic with water and cook until the tomatillos and jalapeños change color. Remove from the heat, discard the water, and set the ingredients aside to cool slightly. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the cilantro and process on low until smooth.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over moderate heat, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully add the salsa and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
