How to Make Mexican Green Sauce
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 lb tomatillos (about 11) and 2-3 jalapeños, stemmed and roughly chopped. Boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
- Combine the cooked tomatillos and jalapeños, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped white onion, and 2 cloves garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pour the blended sauce into the skillet and stir constantly for 5 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
