Method
 

  1. Preheat broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place tomatillos, jalapeños, onion quarters, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until charred and softened.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, then peel the garlic cloves.
  4. Add all roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor along with cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin.
  5. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency, leaving it slightly chunky for texture.
