Tomatillo Sauce

Got a container of organic tomatillos and made this tasty sauce for chicken. Turned out very limey -- maybe a little less next time. Increase jalapenos or add some seeds for more heat.

  • 10 tomatillos, husks removed, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and membranes removed
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • salt
  1. Pulse until chunky. Serve fresh or cook with chicken (see below).
  • oil
  • 3 lbs chicken (next time just 1.5 lbs)
  • 1.5 T oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 onion
  • Monterey jack cheese
  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. 
  3. Stir until chicken is lightly browned.
  4. Stir in the onion. Cover and reduce heat to low.
  5. Prepare tomatillo salsa. Add half. Simmer for 30-40 min.
  6. Serve over rice with remaining fresh salsa and shredded cheese.
