Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. tomatillos, husks removed & rinsed
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 14.5 oz. vegetable or chicken broth

1. Place tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes or until tomatillos are soft.
2. Drain and place in a food processor once tomatillos are cool. Pulse until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of broth if needed.
3. Mince garlic and jalapenos and set aside.
4. Pour the purée tomatillos into a measuring cup, adding enough broth to make 2 cups of liquid.
