Ingredients
- 2 lbs. green tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 serrano chilies, or more for taste
- 1 c. cilantro leaves
- 1/4 c. white onion, roughly chopped
- 1 t. kosher or sea salt, to taste
- 2 T. safflower or corn oil
Instructions
- Place the tomatillos, garlic cloves, and chilies in a pot and cover with water. Place over high heat until it comes to a boil. Simmer at medium for about 10 minutes, or until tomatillos change color from a bright to a pale green, are cooked through and are soft but are not coming apart.
- Place tomatillos, garlic and chile (start with one and add the other if you need more "heat") and 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid in the blender and puree until smooth.
- Add the cilantro leaves, onion and salt and process again. Adjust for taste with salt.
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Once it is hot, but not smoking, pour in the sauce and bring it to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes, until it thickens and deepens its flavor and color. Turn off the heat.
Notes
- Sauce can be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator for weeks. However, the heat level of the sauce will fade with time.
