Recipe: Green Tomatillos in Red Sauce

Green Tomatillos in Red Sauce

by Kate Heyhoe
Makes about 3 cups

8 to 10 fresh tomatillos
(about 12 ounces); husks removed; rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic
1 to 2 serrano chiles (or jalapeños)
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro
Salt to taste

In a medium saucepan, bring tomatillos, tomatoes, onion, garlic and chiles to a boil. Cover and simmer on low until tomatillos are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then blend in a blender until fairly smooth (don't worry about some chunks or seeds, they add texture). Add salt to taste. Serve at room temperature.
