I'm lucky enough to have some time off from work and I'm double lucky that today its in the low 60s without a cloud in the sky.  Time to egg something.  I'm starting with a tomatillo salsa this morning so that it can cool down to pair with some homemade guacamole and egged fajitas later tonight.  Here's the salsa:

6 tomatillos with papers removed and washed
3-5 jalapenos depending on your heat level (I ended up using 3)
1/2 an onion
juice of 1 lime
a hand-full of cilantro
salt to taste

1:  Char the onion, tomatillos and jalapenos on the BGE over a hot fire.
2:  Remove the veggies to a container and cover for a few minutes to soften the skin of the jalapenos.
3:  Scrape the charred skin off the peppers, but don't touch the tomatillos or onion. The char gives the salsa a real depth of flavor.  Optionally devein the peppers and remove seeds to take some of the heat out. I kept them in.
4:  Throw the veggies into a food processor along with the lime juice, cilantro and salt.
5:  Pulse until smooth and refrigerate.

Here are charred veggies:







Here's the final product:





Enjoy!
