Friend brought over a bunch of tomatillos, might have came from a garden not sure.
Didn't measure anything.
Ingredients:
Tomatillos
Serranos
Jalapenos (only 2)
Half onion sauted in the pan, quarter fresh after
About 10-12 Arbol Chiles
6 small garlic cloves
Cilantro
Oregano (2 pinches)
Water
Vinegar
Lime juice from concentrate
Maggi sauce, tiny tiny amount
Salt
Sprinkle of cumin powder
Preparation:
- Arrangement peppers, onion, garlic as you see in pan, with a light coat of vegetable oil.
-Let it heat up, then added water and cover.
-After a bit add the oregano, maggi sauce and vinegar.
-Cook until everything is very soft, it's ok if the tomatillos break. Be careful with liquids, you just want to cover about a centimeter of the pan. Especially the vinegar, can't steam that away. The idea is to use everything in the pan.
-In a separate pot of water, add Arbol Chiles and cook until soft.
-Finally, throw everything in a blender including liquids. Add quarter fresh onion. Add ONLY the chiles from the Chile de arbol pot, not the water. Add cilantro, lime juice.
-Blend on the highest setting.
-Add salt, cilantro, water, vinegar and lime juice as needed until it's good for you.
Other comments: you can also roast everything if you want. Most people will be fine without the Chile de arbol. If you're not as experienced, prepare additional ingredients to save your sauce. Can add tomatillos if too spicy, or more peppers if not hot enough. Add liquids in small portions.
