Jalapeño Tomatillo Sauce
Serve this spicy sauce over a fiery southwestern dish to really pump up the heat. The jalapeños and tomatillos create a tasty verde sauce, and the spice really sneaks up on you! But even though this dish is hot, there is always room for more, so experiment with chili peppers, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper for an even more powerful punch!
Serves 4
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
7 large tomatillos, diced
2 jalapeños, minced
1⁄2 cup water
- Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onion, tomatillos, and jalapeños for 5–10 minutes, until softened.
- Place the mixture into a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the water and stir. Cook on low for 8 hours.
