Steps:

• Set your oven to broil.
• Slice the tomatillos and peppers in half, then set them onto a roasting pan.
• Slice the onion into thick strips and set them onto the roasting pan, along with the garlic.
• Roast the ingredients for 20 minutes, or until the skins char and puff up. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Peel off the skins and discard.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
• Add the tomatillos, peppers, onion and garlic to a food processor or blender along with the cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, cumin and salt.

• With the blender or food processor running, slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture to let it emulsify. It should take about 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken up slightly.
• Serve as desired!
