Fresh green tomatillo sauce / salsa verde cruda

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 mediums Tomatillos, husked & washed or-
13 ounces Can tomatillos, drained
2 Serrano chiles -or-
1 Jalapeno chile, stemmed
5 Cilantro sprigs, roughly chopped
½ small Onion, chopped
½ teaspoon Salt

Directions

Boil fresh tomatillos in salted water to cover until barely tender, 8-10 minutes; drain. Canned tomatillos only need draining. Place the tomatillos in a blender or food processor. If you want a milder sauce, seed the chile(s), then chop into small bits and add to the tomatillos along with the cilantro and chopped onion; if using a blender, stir well. Blend or process to a coarse puree. Scrap into a sauce dish, then to a medium-thick consistency with about ¼ cup water, then season with salt. Let stand for about ½ hour before serving, for the flavors to blend. Source: Authentic Mexican; Rick & Deann Groen Bayless. MM by Lyn.
