Servings: persons

2 pounds tomatillos
1 large sweet onion
1-3 jalapenos, de-seeded or not depending on desired spice level
2 cloves garlic
3 scallions
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup cilantro
1 lime
1 cup chicken stock (optional, have ready to get sauce to desired thickness)
Salt and pepper

1
Roughly chop all your vegetables, then heat the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the vegetables until soft.
2
Confused by the tomatillos?
3
Just take off that weird husk, rinse them off (they will still be sort of sticky) and slice out the top stem.
4
Remove from heat, mix in the cilantro and lime juice.
5
Using an immersion blender, blend until it is smooth.
6
If you use a regular blender, keep your hand firmly on the lid, because the sauce is hot and will blow the top off if you dont.
7
If it looks thick, you can add a little water or chicken stock to thin it out enough that it runs easily through a slotted spoon.
8
Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
