Bricklayer's Salsa

1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
2 small garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1 cup cilantro, minced
4 to 6 fresh serranos chilies or 2 or 3 jalapenos, stemmed and roasted
1 1/2 cup tomatillos, husked, roasted or broiled in water
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
pinch sugar
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
8 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup white onion, peeled and minced

Add onion, garlic and salt to a mortar or food processor. If using a mortar, grind well. If using a processor, pulse once very quickly. It is very important not to overprocess or the texture of the salsa will suffer. Add minced cilantro and pulse again, very quickly. Add chilies, tomatillos and water and pulse again. Season to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and onion. To prepare without a mortar or processor, mince all ingredients extremely finely and combine.
