Steps
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse in lukewarm water. Add tomatillos, chile de arbol and onion to a saucepan. Cover with water and heat to medium. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat slightly and cook for 10 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillo mixture to the blender. Season with salt. Blend on high for just a few seconds.
Pour salsa into a sauce pan and heat to medium heat. Just bring to a light simmer and cook the salsa for 8-10 minutes. Cooking the salsa helps remove the natural pectins in the tomatillos and keep your salsa from clumping up when refrigerated. Once salsa cools you could add in some chopped onion and cilantro. It's an option.
