Cut tomatillos into pieces.
Combine tomatillos with remaining ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Process, using quick on-and-off turns, until just chopped.

Taste and adjust seasonings.
If salsa is bitter, add maple syrup, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired flavor is achieved.
