"'Wink' A great home-made experiment of tomatillo sauce!"

 

• Ready In: 21mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 1-7

ingredients

• 4 whole tomatillos
• 1 whole chili pepper (I like jalapeno)
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• 4 cups cilantro

directions

1. Peel the skin off the tomatillos and they should feel sticky, wash until it doesn't feel sticky and does not have anymore dirt on it; cut in half or quarter.
2. Trim the stem of the pepper and cut in half.
3. Cut all of the stems off the cilantro and wash so there are *no* bad leaves on them.
4. Peel and score the clove of garlic.
5. Put the tomatillo, garlic and pepper halves in a pot of water (doesn't matter how big, just make sire they have some room).
6. Let the water boil for about five minutes in medium-high water, and wait till the tomatillos color turns a bit yellowish.
7. Once boiled, move the tomatillos, garlic and peppers into a food processor with about 1/2 of a cup of the hot-water (you can eye-ball it) and mix with the lemon juice and cilantro.
8. Blend until they are all mixed up and at the point between course and smooth.
9. Move to a container and let cool (optional, but I recommend it).
10. Put on anything and enjoy!
