Tomatillos, also called Mexican husk tomatoes or green tomatoes, aren't tomatoes and don't even taste like them. They have a tangy, citrus-like taste that can at times be very tart. This sauce can be used with and on other foods, or can also be served as a salsa with chips.

Ingredients


  • 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, chopped or substitute one 11-ounce can of tomatillos, drained

  • 1/2 cup diced white onions

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Sugar to taste

  • Salt to taste



Instructions


Combine the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chiles in a small, heavy saucepan and heat over medium heat until the tomatillos start to soften. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for a couple of minutes until the tomatillos are soft, but still colorful. Adjust the seasonings.

Put the mixture in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.

Pour the sauce into a bowl, stir in the cilantro and serve.
