01
Step 1
Start by tossing the tomatillos, jalapenos, lettuce, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor. Pulse everything until it reaches the texture you like—somewhere between chunky and smooth works great.
02
Step 2
Next, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the onions and cook them gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they’re soft and translucent.

Step 3
Pour the blended tomatillo mixture into the pan with the onions, then add the chicken broth. Let everything simmer together, stirring every now and then, until the salsa thickens up a bit—this should take around 20 minutes.
