Mojo Stock (make this while the tomatillos are roasting)
- Place all the ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and allow the stock to simmer for about 20 - 30 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- For even more flavor, allow the stock to sit for about 20 - 30 minutes before straining it. The stock is now ready to be used.
Roasted Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce
- Place the oil or butter in a nonstick saucepan and heat over medium heat.
- When heated, add the flour and mix well to create a roux. Stir for a few minutes until the flour is cooked and forms a paste.
- To keep it gluten free, add the cornstarch instead of the flour and mix it in well until there are no lumps. You do not have to cook it longer.
- Add the mojo stock / regular stock into the saucepan and bring it to a simmer and let it thicken.
- Stir in the salsa verde and heat through.
- Add salt and lime juice to taste (and extra stock if you need to thin it out).
Notes
- You can also skip making the mojo stock if you prefer, and just add regular stock.
- You can substitute 455 g / 1 lb tomatillos with 1 x 312 g / 11 oz can of tomatillos.
- Instead of homemade salsa verde, you can use 1.5 - 2 cups of store-bought salsa verde as well.
