Roasted Tomatillo Sauce
- 1 -1 1/4 lb fresh tomatillos (approx. 6-7) - $1.11
- 2 fresh serrano chiles, diced - $.15
- 2 garlic cloves, unpeeled - $.15
- 1 yellow onion, cut into 4 chunks - $.20
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped) - $.15
- 1 1/2 to 2 tsp salt - pantry
- COST: $1.76
- Preheat oven broiler.
- Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse under warm water to remove stickiness. With a little canola or olive oil on your hands, rub/coat tomatillos, chiles, onion and garlic. Place on cookie sheet and broil. Be careful to turn tomatillos and chiles when charring occurs, once or twice. Cook until tomatillos are softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 mins.
- Let cool, peel of stem off the chiles, toss all the roasted ingredients in the food process or blender. Now add cilantro and a little water, if necessary, just to facilitate blending. Hit puree until you reach desired consistency. Season with salt to taste and enjoy. You can serve warm or cold. Make a day in advance and the flavor will be even better.
