Easy Tomatillo Sauce Recipe
- 1 pound (about 10 medium) fresh tomatillos, husks removed and washed
- 2 large serrano chiles, stemmed
- 6 sprigs cilantro
- 1 small white onion, halved and sliced
- 1 medium garlic clove, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in the husked tomatillos.
- Cook, adjusting the heat so the water remains at a steady simmer, until the tomatillos are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Drain and transfer to the blender along with the chiles, cilantro, onion, and garlic.
- Blend the ingredients to form a slightly rough-textured puree.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the puree, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon as it comes to a boil.
- Let it cook until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and salt and bring the tomatillo puree back to a boil.
- Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Taste and season with additional salt if necessary.
