VERDE SAUCE

VERDE SAUCE

Ingredients:
8 tomatillos, husked
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper (remove the seeds for less heat)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
1½ tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 In a pot of boiling water, cook the tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, and garlic for
about 8 minutes, or until the tomatillos soften. Strain and reserve the cooking
liquid.
2 Put the strained veggies and the cilantro in a blender or food processor and
pulse a few times. With the machine running, add the reserved cooking liquid ½
cup at a time until the sauce is the consistency of thick salsa. Add the lime juice,
then season with salt and pepper to taste.
3 Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.
FREEZES WELL! For best results, let the salsa thaw in the fridge and
allow to come to room temperature before using.
