Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler.

If using fresh tomatillos, remove husks and rinse under warm water to remove stickiness. If using canned tomatillos, drain and measure out 4 cups. Broil fresh tomatillos (do not broil canned), chiles, garlic, and onions on rack of a broiler pan 1 to 2 inches from heat, turning once, until softened and slightly charred, about 8 minutes.

Peel garlic and pull off tops of chiles. Puree all ingredients in a food processor.

This recipe yields 6 cups.
