Heat grill or broiler.
Wash eggplant and slice into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick - no need to peel. When grill is hot, brush eggplant slices with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and grill over direct heat until well browned and soft, 5 - 10 minutes per side, depending on grill temperature. If slices cook to the point where they get somewhat crisp, that's ok - just don't let them char. (This can be done ahead, perhaps as the grill heats up for another dish).
Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse off the sticky coating. Chop coarsely.
Put grilled eggplant and tomatillos into processor, pulse until they are finely chopped. (To make by hand, chop tomatillos and grilled eggplant finely, then use a large spoon to mash a part of the mixture). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
