Default Technique for deseeding tomatillo/tomate verde for salsa verde?

I venture there is more green chile and perhaps green tomato ratios in that
salsa pic than tomatillo. ( note the red flecks, probably ripening parts of
the chiles and the seeds are definitely chile seeds). That would also give
it the texture and taste I think you strive for.

Straight Tomatillos do not make for a good sauce nor would I prior strain
the seeds for a salsa ingredient. Too many good Salsa Verde recipes out
there
