GREEN ONION TOMATILLO CREAM SAUCE WITH CHICKEN - PASTA - POTATO



Green Onion Tomatillo Cream Sauce With Chicken - Pasta - Potato image

I love to cook with tomatillos! They have a unique sharp citrus flavor similiar to a lime. I can tame it down with sugar or heighten the flavor with lime zest. This recipe is low cost and can feed many. I love it with bow tie pasta. All the minced pieces in the sauce stick to the bow ties. I had to feed 8 on a moments notice and I grabbed these ingredients....it worked! Serve with fruit. This could easily be adapted for vegetarian meal without the chicken. If you half the recipe cut the onions,tomatillo and chicken in half, nothing else. Leave the liquid and spices as is.

TOMATILLO AND CHICKEN SOUP



Tomatillo and Chicken Soup image

Tomatillos are small green vegetables with a papery husk. They are part of the nightshade family, but they do not taste like tomatoes. They have a tangy, slightly sour taste that pairs wonderfully with almost any variety of pepper, and they have much smaller seeds. This soup recipe relies on their unique flavor while adding some more familiar elements, like canned green chiles, cilantro, chicken broth, and leftover chicken.

QUICK GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA



Quick Green Tomatillo Salsa image

I make this tangy, versatile tomatillo salsa to accompany a range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's always great with shrimp and fish, and it's my go-to salsa for tacos with chicken in the filling, and with vegetables like potatoes and greens, summer squash and corn. I roast the tomatillos under the broiler before blending them to get a deep, toasty flavor. You can also roast the chiles if you want a deeper roasted-spicy flavor, as opposed to grassy-spicy flavor. If you wish to roast the chiles alongside the tomatillos, place the whole chiles on the baking sheet, too; they will be done faster than the tomatillos, only a minute or two on each side. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop, then proceed with the recipe.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, coarsely chopped (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
  • Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TOMATILLOS



Braised Chicken Thighs With Tomatillos image

Part stew, part braise, these chicken thighs become fall-apart tender in under an hour without the aid of any fancy appliances. Simmered in a tangy broth made from tomatillos and garlic, the sauce becomes delightfully thick and chicken-y, perfect for garnishing with lime, radishes and plenty of cilantro. It's terrific as is, served with tortillas for dipping, but a can of rinsed hominy, beans or cooked rice adds some nice heft.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or legs
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, chopped
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, seeds removed if you like
4 cups chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can hominy, chickpeas or other beans, rinsed and drained (or use 2 cups cooked rice)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus 1 lime, halved, for serving
1 1/2 cups cilantro, tender leaves and stems
Corn tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pot, skin side down and cook, without disturbing, until skin has rendered most of the fat and is a nice golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (You want it to be very deeply golden brown so that it stays nice and brown as it braises.)
  • Using tongs, flip the chicken and continue to cook until nicely browned on the other side, another 5 or so minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board, leaving all the fat and golden bits behind. Add smashed garlic and half of the sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatillos and half of the jalapeño and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken back in, skin side up (they will not submerge all the way; that's fine). Simmer, uncovered, until tomatillos have completely broken down and the sauce has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Add hominy and continue to cook until flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon (it should be looser than tomato sauce, thicker than soup), another 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine radish, remaining onion, remaining jalapeño and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • Serve each piece of chicken with sauce spooned around. Top with radish mixture, some cilantro and tortillas alongside for sopping up all the goods.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatillos. This will give your sauce the best flavor. To choose ripe tomatillos, look for ones that are firm and have a light green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Roast the tomatillos before using them. Roasting intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to blend. To roast tomatillos, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, then roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Use a high-quality cream. This will make your sauce rich and creamy. Look for a cream that is at least 35% fat.
  • Season the sauce to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices until it reaches your desired flavor. Be sure to taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. This is when it is at its best. You can serve it over pasta, potatoes, chicken, or fish.

Conclusion:

Green onion tomatillo cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting sauce to try, give green onion tomatillo cream sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
