Quick Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

This tangy sauce is as delicious as it is versatile. Add it to chili. Use it to whip up a batch of chiles verde or posole. It also makes a great sauce for enchiladas. We like to roast up large batches and freeze it in 2 cup portions.

Quick roasted Tomatillo Sauce

tomatillos
jalapeno peppers (we like 1-2 peppers for every 10-15 tomatillos)
cilantro
salt

Preheat your broiler.
Peel away the papery covering on the tomatillos. Rinse and dry.
Wash the jalapenos and snap the stems off of them.

Place the tomatillos and jalapenos on a large baking sheet. Broil until the tops of the tomatillos begin to brown/blacken. Flip over and brown the other side.

Place the tomatillos and jalapenos in the blender, in batches, and puree until smooth. Add salt and cilantro to taste.

Use immediately or freeze for later.

Can the tomatillos be grilled? The broiler in June is a bad idea for Maryland. :)

Rachel - Absolutely! High heat -- oil the grates -- turn every 2 minutes or so until getting soft and nicely blackened. In fact, you might want to use a grill basket because they may get too soft and that would prevent them from falling through.
