It’s great with fish, on tacos, or with anything you’d like to be more delicious.
Ingredients:
tomatillos 1 lb. peeled and washed
jalapeño pepper 1 mediumish whole
olive oil 2 tablespoons
yellow onion 1 medium finely chopped
garlic 3 cloves minced
chicken broth 2 cups
cilantro leaves ½ cup
Procedure:
  1. Roast tomatillos and jalapeño in a 350ºF. oven until soft and browned.
  2. Cool slightly, remove stems (if you like) and blend smooth.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm oil and cook onion and garlic until soft.
  5. Add chicken broth and tomatillo puree.
  6. Simmer until sauce reduces and thickens.
  7. Stir in cilantro leaves.
  8. Season to taste with salt (and pepper).
