Salsa Verde Molcajete - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 -6 tomatillos, depending on size
    1 habanero pepper
    1 large garlic clove
    salt or chicken bouillon granule
    cilantro (optional)
    olive oil (optional)
Preparation
    Roast tomatillos, garlic and chile directly over flames on a grill (or if you do not have one, I use a cast iron fry pan).
    Turn often so as not to burn.
    When they are all soft, transfer to mortar and pestal (molcajete); mash all ingredients--the consistency should be chunky.
    Add salt or soup mix to taste.
    Olive oil can be added if you like, but is not necessary. Cilantro can be added as well.
    A variation of this recipe is to use tomatoes and grill them till charred and proceed with the rest of the ingredients.
