Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb tomatillo, husks removed
2 poblano chiles or 2 other fresh chilies, of choice (or 2 jalapeno peppers)
1 medium onion, unpeeled
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, packed
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt, to taste
unbleached cane sugar, optional

Steps:

  • On a non-stick cookie sheet, place the tomatillos, poblano chiles, and onion, and place them under the broiler.
  • Broil the vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning them as their skins begin to char.
  • The entire process should take around 15 minutes.
  • After 12 minutes of broiling time, add the cloves of garlic.
  • Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • When the tomatillos and poblano chiles are cool to the touch, remove their skins, stems, and seeds, and discard.
  • Remove and discard the onion skin, as well.
  • Transfer the tomatillos, poblano chiles, onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender, and pulse a few times to roughly chop the vegetables.
  • Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin, and continue to pulse to form a chunky puree.
  • Add salt to taste and a little unbleached cane sugar, if desired.
  • Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Serves as a sauce for Mexican and Southwestern style dishes, as a sauce for steamed vegetables and grains, or as a dip with raw veggies or tortilla chips.

This is the best roasted tomatillo sauce recipe I've ever tried! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water when I was blending it.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I added some chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, and it really brightened up the flavor.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for me, even though I used less chili powder than the recipe called for. I think next time I'll omit the chili powder altogether.

I found this sauce to be a bit too smoky for my taste. I think next time I'll try roasting the tomatillos for a shorter amount of time.

This sauce is amazing! I used it to make enchiladas and they were the best I've ever had.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little bit of extra chili powder for a bit of a kick.

This roasted tomatillo sauce was a hit at my last dinner party! It had the perfect balance of smokiness, acidity, and heat. I served it over chicken and rice, and everyone raved about it.
