Equipment
- 1 Smoker
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Tomatillos
- 1 large sweet onion
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 jalapeno or other spicy pepper (I also like to use smoked hot peppers)
- 5-10 sprigs Oregano
- 4 cups Chicken Broth (4 cups water + 4 tsp bouillon)
- 1½ tsp Kosher Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- 2 tsp Cumin
Instructions
Smoking Instructions
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos and wash the tomatillos.
- Preheat the smoker to 230F, smoke the tomatillos for 3 hours or until as smoky as desired.
Sauce Instructions
- Heat oil in the bottom of a small stock pot. Once hot, fry the onion until it is turning brown, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for up to 1 minute more, or until the garlic has turned golden.
- Remove onion and garlic from the pot into the bowl of a food processor. Additionally add the jalapeno, tomatillos, and fresh oregano. Process until no large chunks remain.
- Transfer the processed vegetables back to the stock pot, and add the rest of the ingredients.
- Bring the pot to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Store in jars and enjoy :)
