Whether you’re in the mood for saucy chilaquiles, enchiladas, or simply want to elevate your grilled fish or chicken, this sauce has got you covered.

The Perfect Blend of Ingredients

To create this culinary masterpiece, you’ll need:

• 1 pound of fresh tomatillos, husks removed and washed
• 2 large serrano chiles, stemmed
• 6 sprigs of cilantro
• 1 small white onion, halved and sliced
• 1 medium garlic clove, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth or stock
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, plus more as needed

A Simple yet Effective Cooking Process

To bring this sauce to life, follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Boil and Blend

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently add the tomatillos. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re tender. Drain and transfer the tomatillos to a blender, along with the chiles, cilantro, onion, and garlic. Blend until you achieve a slightly rough-textured purée.

Step 2: Simmer and Thicken

Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the purée and stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Let it cook for 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Then, add the broth and salt, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.

The Final Touches

Taste and season the sauce with additional salt if needed. With its rich flavor profile and versatility, this tomatillo sauce is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy!
