• Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in the center of a small square of aluminum foil and fold up the sides to create a packet. Grill the garlic packet, the tomatillos, the onion quarters, and the jalapeño, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until the vegetables are marked and softened, turning as needed. The tomatillos will take 7 to 10 minutes and the onion, jalapeño, and garlic will take about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside until cool enough to handle.
