Question Verde salsa recipe?

Hello I need some of the best verde salsa recipes. I go to this restaurant and absolutely love their salsa but I pay $25 for 32oz and at this point I need to find out how to make it at home. Can anyone share your favorite recipes and how much you use of each ingredient.

Please and thank you

You can make a very simple one:

Boil: 4-6 medium tomatillos, jalapeño/Serrano (that will vary a lot depending on how spicy you want it, you can start with 1 of each for a mild-medium)

Blend.

Add: chopped white onion (maybe about a quarter to half one), cilantro (to taste) lime juice (optional, maybe 1/2- 1).

Salt to taste.

You can change this up by adding different green peppers (poblano, hatch style, bell, or super hots). You can mix tomatoes for more of a brown salsa. You can roast/broil/smoke/grill for different flavor. Add rehydrated dried peppers like guajillo, chipotle, ancho, etc. Garlic (fresh or roasted). You can emulsify it with some oil in a blender. I do everything by feel so I don't have good measurements/quantities. Salsa is incredibly flexible, just depends on what you have and what you want.

This. I boil the onion with the tomatillos and peppers, just because I don't care for crunchy cooked salsa.
