Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1-2 serrano chiles, stemmed (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tomatillos are soft and have changed color, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain tomatillos and transfer to a blender. Add cilantro, onion, garlic, chiles, salt, and water. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning or heat level. If too thick, add a little more water. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a smoky flavor, broil the tomatillos and chiles until charred before blending.
- Use as a sauce for enchiladas or as a marinade for chicken.
