Tomatilla Recipe

I saw how to make tomatilla sauce on the Food Network the other day, so I thought I’d give it a try. It was really easy, and I’m excited about experimenting with the recipe.

I don’t know exact ratios, so just fiddle around.

about a pound of Tomatillas, husked.
1 lime, peeled
lemon pepper
garlic powder (real garlic cloves would probably be better)
(Some kind of whole peppers)

blend it all up!

I didn’t have any hot peppers, so I just put about 1/3rd of a bell pepper, and added some hot sauce. Also I added some masa when it didn’t seem the sauce was thick enough, but it balled up pretty good and I think it would be better to add it to the blender. Later, after the sauce was in the fridge for a while it thickened itself (although that might have been the masa, who knows?)

I’m going to try it again with some relatively hot peppers and see how that works out.

  1. Great: I’m trying to find recipes using tomatillas that aren’t salsa. What do you do with this sauce?
