ingredients

1 pound fresh tomatillos
3 large jalapeno peppers
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 sprigs cilantro, stems removed
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

directions

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and slice each in half. Slice the jalapenos in half and remove the stems and seeds.

Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos and jalapenos to the broth and boil for 10 minutes.

Transfer the tomatillos and jalapenos to a blender, reserving the broth. Add the onion, garlic, and cilantro to the blender. Process until smooth.

Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo puree and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until dark and thick.

While stirring, slowly stir in the reserved broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently.

Let the sauce cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

  1. Linda L REVIEW:

    Great sauce! I miss TB green sauce so much for tostadas. It was so easy. Thank you so much. I agree that it’s a bit different. Probably missing preservatives 😊.

  2. Nina REVIEW:

    Great recipe used this on Carne Asada tostadas! I made this in bulk and plan to use the rest for chicken enchiladas..

  4. LC REVIEW:

    I have always been a huge fan of TB green sauce. This recipe tastes a little different, but this is for sure my new favorite. It tastes so fresh and isn't oily like The Bell's.
