Ingredients

  • 6 approximately 2 pouds tomatillos
  • 3/4 cup white onion chopped
  • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 lime freshly juiced
  • 1-2 Jalapeno peppers stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean tomatillos by removing the husks and rinsing well. Place tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, turn the tomatillos to ensure even cooking OR
  2. Halve the tomatillos and broil (skin side up) for 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
  3. When the tomatillos are cool enough to handle, remove the stems and put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  4. Now comes the most important part, taste your sauce! Every jalapeño has a spicy life of its own. Some super hot and others not as potent. I seed my jalapeños and start adding slowly. I usually end up using one whole chili pepper, adjusting my recipe to the flavor I like.

Notes

  • After blending taste the sauce and adjust by adding more jalapenos, or salt to your preference.
