Tomatillo Sauce
This is a basic green sauce for use on just about any sort of Mexican food with a rather tart flavor. Add more jalapenos if you like it hotter and some sugar if you want it less tart. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week, and will keep in the freezer for a longer period of time. If preserving more, add 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid and offset the tartness with a little added sugar.
1 jalapenos, seeded and white ribs removed 1/2 chopped yellow onion
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon chicken demi-glace
Salt
Pepper
Husked tomatillos and wash well, rub off any sticky bits, chopped coarsely. Chop half an onion, seeded and remove white ribs from jalapeno, then chopped coarsely.
In a frying pan, cook tomatillos, jalapeƱos, and onion in oil over medium heat, for about 5 minutes. When onions begin to clear, add garlic. Cook while stirring another minute. Remove from heat and cool ten minutes. Place cooked ingredients in a food processor. Keep frying pan as is, it will be used again. Add cilantro and puree until smooth. Pour puree back into pan; add chicken demi-glace and cook, stirring constantly over high heat until sauce thickens. Correct seasonings.
Note:
Select fresh green tomatillos that are firm with tight-fitting, papery green skins.
