Tomatillo Sauce
For a milder sauce, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before processing. Serve this on the side with the chicken or flank steak.
Yield: Makes 1 1/4 cups
Ingredients
- 10 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
- 1 small onion
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Combine tomatillos, onion, and water to cover in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes. Turn off heat, and let stand 20 minutes or until tomatillos are tender. Drain.
- Process tomatillo mixture, 1/2 cup water, and remaining ingredients in a blender until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
