Watermelon and Tomatillo Salsa

1 tsp. minced garlic

Cut the tomatillos into quarters. Heat the oil in a large heavy saute pan over medium-high heat to saute the onions for a few minutes and then add the tomatillos, garlic and jalapenos. Saute until the onions and garlic begin to brown.
Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the cumin and chili powder over the pan. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Cool. Place in a blender or food processor with the watermelon and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
