The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened.

Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.
