Preparation

Step 1

Place tomatillos in a large saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer until tomatillos have softened but not burst, about 5 minutes. Strain tomatillos through a fine sieve, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.

Puree tomatillos, onion, garlic, chiles, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid in a blender or food processor until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt to taste.
