Chipotle Chile Sauce 2
A simple, hot smoky table sauce that is delicious with grilled meats. You can also sprinkle it on tacos.
Ingredients
- 3 fresh tomatillos, husked and washed
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 3 canned chipotle chiles, seeded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Lay a square of aluminum foil in a cast iron skillet set over medium heat; set the tomatillos on top of the foil. Turn often until soft and blackened in spots, about 10 minutes.
- While the tomatillos are roasting, toast the garlic on an uncovered spot on the skillet, turning frequently until soft, about 15 minutes; cool, slip off the skin and chop.
- Place the tomatillos, garlic, chipotles and 2 tablespoons water in a blender container and purée. Scrape into a sauce dish, season with salt, and stir in a little more water to give it a light, saucy consistency.
Notes
If a smokier flavor is desired, stir in a teaspoon or two of the sauce from the canned chiles chipotles.
