Salsa Verde

Ingredients

tomatillos, husk removed
1 lb (about 10 sm/med)
serrano pepper
4
poblano pepper
2
white onion, chopped
½ medium
garlic, chopped
4 cloves
salt
pinch
vegetable broth
~2 cups

Instructions

  1. Place tomatillos and peppers in a pot with water, enough to cover them. Bring to boil, and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull, army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles.
  2. Combine tomatillos, peppers, white onion, garlic and salt, and enough vegetable broth so that liquid just covers the vegetables. Blend all ingredients until pureed.
  3. In a saucepan, over medium/high heat, bring salsa to a low boil, and remove from heat.

Notes

heat to taste. Four serranos has a touch of heat, but would be barely “medium.”

Makes about 3 cups of sauce.
