Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

Step 1

Place oven rack on top most setting. Set oven to broiler.

Step 2

On a baking sheet spread Tomatillo (husked and rinsed), quartered yellow onion, garlic cloves (unpeeled), and poblano. Broil until skin is charred (about 4-5 minutes). Take out, flip roasted side down, then broil again for another 4-5 minute or until veggies are soft. Once done, take out and leave aside to cool a bit.

Step 3

Transfer roasted tomato, onion, cumin, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, lime juice, chicken stock into a blender along with sheet pan drippings. Squeeze to extract pulp out of garlic. Add pulp to blender (discard skin). Scrap off skin and seeds of poblano. Add pulp to blender (discard seeds and skin).

Step 4

Process in blender until sauce is smooth and pureed. I use Vitamix and let it run for 2 minutes on medium, then 1 minute on high for smooth sauce. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper. Transfer to a container and use with your favorite Mexican meal. Enjoy!
