| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 pounds | Tomatillos |
| 1 cup | Cold water |
| 4 | Cloves garlic; chopped |
| 1 small | Onion; chopped |
| 2 | Jalepeno or serrano peppers; chopped |
| Fresh cilantro; (optional) | |
| 2 tablespoons | Salad oil |
| 2 teaspoons | Salt |
| 1 teaspoon | Sugar |
Remove outer husk from tomatillos. Cook in 4 cups water for 10 minutes.
Drain. Place in blender container with 1 cup cold water, garlic, peppers, onion, and cilantro. Puree until almost liquid. Heat oil in saucepan and pour in sauce. Season with salt and sugar. Lower heat and simmer 5 minutes.
If too sour, add another tsp. sugar. Variation: for a sauce with a "toasted" taste, heat the tomatillos on a heavy skillet or griddle, turning frequently, until the husks are quite brown and the fruit is soft. Remove the husk and use the tomatillos. Do not puree the sauce for a chunkier, salsa-type sauce.
Excellent with poultry, pork, or beef, burritos, tacos, chicken enchiladas and tostadas.
