Green Chili Sauce
- 1 pound Tomatillos
- 4 whole Jalapenos
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/2 whole Onion Medium Size, Husk Removed, Then Quartered
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Cilantro
- Remove the husk of the tomatillos (*) and wash them.
- They tend to have a sticky outer surface.
- Put the tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic clove and onion into a medium sized pot.
- Fill the pot with water (just enough to cover the ingredients).
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove the ingredients from the water and place them in a blender.
- Dont discard the water yetyou may need it.
- At this time, add salt, cumin and the cilantro into the blender then puree until smooth.
- If needed to reach a smooth consistency, you can add some of the cooking liquid from the pot.
- Add more salt to taste.
- This is a great sauce for chilaquiles or poured over taquitos de pollo.
- See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Taquitos de Pollo recipe.
- * Note: When picking tomatillos, lift the husk off to see what they look like.
- They should be a nice light green color the darker, greener ones are more bitter therefore the sauce will be too tangy.
