Salsa verde for chilaquiles

 Recipe courtesy of: https://www.muydelish.com/tomatillo-sauce/


Santi made this when he was craving chilaquiles, and he was really pleased with the result. This recipe is a keeper, but I have nothing to do with choosing it!!


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup onion - roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves - peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 poblano chile - roughly chopped [we did not have one, so we didn't use it]
  • 1 jalapeño (add serrano peppers for a spicy version) - chopped
  • 4 cups tomatillos (about 1 ½ lbs) - husk removed, rinsed and quartered
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ tsp fresh ground pepper


Instructions

  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium high heat. Add the ½ cup onion, 3 garlic cloves, poblano, and jalapeño and sauté until lightly browned.
  • Add the tomatillos and the stock.
  • Cover and simmer until soft. About 10 minutes. Then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Add the tomatillo mix (without the liquid), cilantro, salt & pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until there are no big chunks and reaches your desired consistency.
