Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tomatillos, husked and rinsed or 1 (13 ounce) can tomatillos
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
6 sprigs cilantro, chopped
1/2 small white onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water

Tips for Making Tangy Kiwi Tomatillo Sauce:

  • Choose ripe kiwis and tomatillos: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful the sauce will be.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked just until the tomatillos are softened and the kiwi has released its flavor. Overcooking will make the sauce bitter.
  • Use a blender or food processor: This will help to create a smooth and creamy sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

This tangy kiwi tomatillo sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a pop of flavor to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or crackers. The sauce is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to your diet.
