Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

== Description ==
If you're pressed for time, you may want to try a jarred brand of tomatillo salsa instead of making it from scratch. We can't attest to the quality of all of them, but we do love Rick Bayless's, which has a fine, robust flavor. (look for it in specialty foods stores and in some supermarkets.
