Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, whole
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper diced, whole
- 3 (4 ounce) diced green chiles canned
- 6 tomatillos peeled, washed, and diced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, add your olive oil and diced onion, and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add your garlic, jalapeno, green chiles, and tomatillos. Continue to saute over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
- Add in your vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and cumin. Bring to a boil and boil for just a few minutes.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Using an immersion blender in the pot, blend your sauce until it is smooth. You can also remove the sauce from the pot and blend it in a blender.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can keep it frozen for up to 4 months.
Notes
- if you prefer a milder sauce, leave out the jalapeño pepper or remove the seeds and membranes before dicing. On the other hand, if you like it hot, add extra jalapeños or use a spicier variety of green chilis.
- To add some tangy flavor to the sauce, mix in 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice in step 3.
