Salsa Verde

You will need:

• 3lb tomatillos
• 5 chilies de arbol
• 1 yellow onion cut into eighths
• 3-6 cloves of garlic peeled
• 3 jalapeños cut into quarters
• 3 tsp ground cumin
• 1 bunch cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste

To do:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Boil water in a large soup pot. Add the 5 chilies de arbol and boil for 15 minutes to rehydrate.
• Peal and clean the tomatillos.
• Cook onions, jalapeños, garlic and half of the tomatillos in a Pyrex in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Add the other half of the tomatillos to the boiling water with the chiles de arbol for 5 minutes.
• Using your blender or food processor, blend all ingredients together until it is the consistency you like.

This is great for dipping or as a sauce for enchiladas. Increase the chiles de arbol for more spice!
