Pull the husks off the tomatillos and give them a good rinse. I usually cut the stems out but this is optional.

Finely chop 1/2 onion, 1 jalapeno (or less), 2 cloves garlic, and 15-20 sprigs of cilantro. Add these ingredients to the molcajete along with a pinch of salt and crush them into a paste-like substance.

Finely chop the roasted tomatillos and combine thoroughly with the other ingredients in the molcajete.
