Chipotle Chile Sauce
Chipotle Chile Sauce
A simple, hot smoky table sauce that is delicious with grilled meats
You can also sprinkle it on tacos
3 fresh tomatillos, husked & washed
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 canned chiles chipotles, seeded
1/4 tsp salt
Lay a square of aluminum foil in a cast iron skillet set over medium heat; set the tomatillos on top of the foil
Turn often until soft & blackened in spots, about 10 min
While the tomatillos are roasting, toast the garlic on an uncovered spot on the skillet, turning frequently until soft, about 15 min; cool, slip off the skin & chop
Place the tomatillos, garlic, chipotles & 2 Tbsp water in a blender container & puree
Scrape into a sauce dish, season with salt, & stir in a little more water to give it a light, saucy consistency
If a smokier flavor is desired, stir in a tsp or two of the sauce from the canned chiles chipotles
