Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
1 cup diced white onion
1 garlic clove
1 jalapeno, quartered (seeded, if desired)
1 cup water
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon white vinegar

This sauce was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't like tomatillos. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
