  • Yields: 8 servings (1/2 cup per serving)

Ingredients

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed

½ cup onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh garlic, finely chopped

1 serrano or jalapeno chili, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1½ teaspoons salt

2 cups water

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and warm water. Wash produce well.

2. Place all ingredients into a large saucepan.

3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, about 10-15 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

5. Pour cooled mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 week.

Variations:

Roasted: Cut tomatillos in half and broil for 4 minutes on each side, until skin is slightly blackened or blistered. Allow to cool and place in blender or food processor (include any juices that may have escaped). Blend well, then transfer to a bowl and mix in remaining ingredients.

Raw: Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, chili, cilantro, oregano, cumin, salt, and ¼ cup water in a blender or food processor. Process to a coarse puree.
