SO HOW'D IT GO?

My local grocery store did not have Anaheim peppers and I was out of jalapenos, so I used 5 unseeded Serrano peppers in their place. I used about a lb of tomatillos (broiled until blackened, black skin removed) a small handful of cilantro and omitted the onion, garlic, and salt (I like the pepper flavor to shine through). I also added a little fresh lime juice. I ended up with a lovely salsa that had a nice flavor and a good amount of heat. Last time I made this, I chose to use Serranos and jalapenos in place of the poblano and Anaheim peppers, but I think the poblano peppers really made the difference. Nice recipe!
