Instructions
Spray the cast iron pan with a tiny bit of oil.
Place the cast iron pan over medium heat on the stove.
Add the tomatillos, onion wedge, and whole chiles. You will start to see the ingredients char and the smell of roasting chiles in the air. Continue to rotate them every few minutes.
Note that the tomatillos, onions, and chiles will be par-cooked. They will be tender but not mushy.
Now it's time to remove them from the heat source and pan.
Using a food processor or blender, add the roasted tomatillos, onion, Serrano chiles with the stems removed.
Add the fresh cilantro and fresh garlic cloves. Pulse until the salsa is a slightly chunky consistency.
