Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce

Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce

This sauce is an excellent companion in chicken or beef enchiladas. I make a large batch from the huge tomatillo harvest I get, and then freeze it into quart-sized freezer bags to use during the year. There are never any leftovers when enchiladas are made with this sauce!

Ingredients

  • 6 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 6 small serrano peppers, stems removed
  • 1 ½ large onions, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Step 1
Put tomatillos and serrano peppers in a large stockpot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil until tomatillos are an army green color, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2
Combine tomatillo-pepper mixture, onions, and garlic in a blender, working in batches if necessary. Puree until smooth.

Step 3
Transfer puree to a large pot. Add chicken broth, brown sugar, cilantro, salt, and cumin; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced and thickened, about 45 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

One pound is roughly 10 tomatillos.
