This is a classic Mexican sauce ideal as a marinade or accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meat. It also makes a great topping for nachos.
Ingredients:
3 fresh tomatillos, husked and washed (or use bitter tomatoes or green tomatoes)
2 garlic cloves (whole and unpeeled)
3 pickled chipotle chillies (or 3 dry chipotle chillies)
1/4 tsp sea salt
black pepper, to taste
water or lime juice, to mix
Method:
If using dried chipotle chillies soak in a cup of warm water over night.
The following day cover a cast iron griddle pan or skillet with aluminium foil. Set over medium heat and add the tomatillos. Turn often and cook until soft and blackened in places (about 10 minutes). Toast the garlic in the same pan, turning frequently, cooking until soft (about 15 minutes).
When done remove the skin from the garlic and chop. Roughly chop the tomatillos and combine with the garlic, chillies, salt and black pepper in a blender or liquidizer. Process into a smooth purée and scrape in to a serving dish or jar. Add water or lime juice until you just have a pouring consistency then use immediately as a condiment or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator (if using lime juice it will keep for up to a week).
