    Makes 1 cup

Ingredients

10 fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 fresh jalapeños, stems removed
1/4 small onion
1 clove garlic
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon canola oil
Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan over moderate heat, cover the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic with water and cook until the tomatillos and jalapeños change color.

Add the cilantro and process on low until smooth.
