Step 1
Mix the finely diced onion with the juice and zest of the lime and the sugar, and leave to sit in a shallow bowl for 30 minutes; the acid from the lime takes away the raw edge of the onions. -
Step 2
Meanwhile pulse the tomatillos and chilli in a food processor with a dash of water until roughly chopped, or do it by hand if you're feeling rustic. -
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together and season well with a little salt, tasting as you go and adding more lime or sugar if needed.
