For a smokier flavor, roast the tomatillos, onions, and peppers under a broiler or on a grill before simmering.
Add a handful of fresh cilantro to the blender for an extra burst of freshness.
The heat level of serrano peppers can vary widely. Start with fewer peppers and add more to taste.
If the salsa is too thick, add a little water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.

    I found it a little too spicy for my taste, so I removed the seeds from the serranos before cooking.
