If possible, use cast iron or even a griddle. Husk, rinse, and halve the tomatillos. Halve the serrano pepper. Lay the tomatillos in cut-side down. Lay in the unpeeled garlic and serrano pepper. Cook until lightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and char the second side, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the garlic from the peel. Place the tomatillos, garlic, and serrano in a blender. Set aside for a few minutes to let cool. This is a good time to prepare
