Ingredients
- 1 large white onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 12 oz tomatillos, husks removed, tomatillos rinsed (about 6 tomatillos)
- 2 cups fire roasted green chiles, including liquid (4 four oz cans)
- 1 cup chicken broth (use gluten free broth for a gluten free sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven.
- Add chopped onions, saute until translucent. Add garlic, cook for another minute or so until garlic is fragrant. Remove onion and garlic from pot.
- Add tomatillos to pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tomatillo skins start to split, about 10 minutes.
- Drain water, and puree tomatillos in food processor or blender.
- Add tomatillos back to pot, along with green chiles, chicken broth, salt, oregano, and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add to green chile and tomatillo mixture.
- Continue simmering for about 5 more minutes, allowing sauce to thicken.
