Enchiladas Verdes Sauce
- 2 pounds tomatillos
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1-3 jalapenos, de-seeded or not depending on desired spice level
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 scallions
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1 cup chicken stock (optional, have ready to get sauce to desired thickness)
- Salt and pepper
- Roughly chop all your vegetables, then heat the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the vegetables until soft.
- Confused by the tomatillos?
- Just take off that weird husk, rinse them off (they will still be sort of sticky) and slice out the top stem.
- Remove from heat, mix in the cilantro and lime juice.
- Using an immersion blender, blend until it is smooth.
- If you use a regular blender, keep your hand firmly on the lid, because the sauce is hot and will blow the top off if you dont.
- If it looks thick, you can add a little water or chicken stock to thin it out enough that it runs easily through a slotted spoon.
- Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
