Excellent! Made almost exactly as written. I used 6 cloves rather than just 4 and browned them along with the whole tomatillos in canola oil. Refrigerated the dip for a good hour prior to serving. There was just a little left and was even better the next day when used as dressing for a grilled chicken salad!!! Nice change from guacamole and we love it!! Thanks for sharing!

Loved it! I did make a couple of changes---I didn't cook the tomatillos or garlic, and I added a serrano chile and doubled the garlic. Actually, the garlic was an accident, as I was making half the recipe and added all 4 cloves before I realized what I'd done. But, being the garlic lover I am, it wasn't too garlicky. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
