Tomatillo Sauce
Tomatillo Sauce
1 lb tomatillos
4 scallions
2 to 4 Serrano chiles
1 tsp Mexican lime juice
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
1/3 cup cilantro (optional)
NOTE: Do not add cilantro if the sauce is going to be used as an enchilada sauce
Place the tomatillos & chiles in a pot & cover with water
Bring water to boil over medium heat
If you use high heat, the tomatillos can easily disintegrate if the water is allowed to boil too swiftly
When the tomatillos & chiles have become quite soft, about 5 to 10 min, discard the water & place them in a blender
Add onions, lime juice & salt; blend, using pulses, until the sauce is roughly chopped
Taste the sauce & add the sugar, if necessary, & the cilantro, if desired
If the sauce is to be used in enchiladas, blend it for about 15 seconds or until it is smooth
