Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the vegetables.

Method

Put the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion and garlic in a small saucepan, cover with water, then put on the stovetop. Bring to a boil and cook until the tomatillos are tender and become yellow-green, about 10 min.
Remove from the heat, discard the water, and set aside to cool slightly.
Transfer the ingredients to a blender or food processor, and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the cilantro and pulse on 'low' until smooth.
Heat the oil in a pan over moderate heat. Add the salsa and simmer a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season to taste with salt, then serve.
