Herbed Tomatillo and Grape Salsa

This soft, fruity (and fat-free) green sauce enhances broiled or fried seafood or roasted chicken or turkey. Sweet and mellow, with herbal tones and a light chilli snap (more, if you go for heat), it is smoother and subtler than relish. Either simmer husked tomatillos or roast them unhusked (for somewhat more concentrated flavor), as you prefer. Should a more assertive and crisp salsa be your goal, prepare the raw variation that follows, for sharper taste and color.
