Salsa Verde

Ingredients for Salsa Verde

• 3 unpeeled garlic cloves

• 450g fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed

• 1 small onion, quartered through root end

• 3 to 6 serrano chillies or 2 to 4 jalapeño chillies

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander

How to make Salsa Verde

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread garlic onto skewer. Grill garlic, tomatillos, onion quarters, and chillies until dark brown spots form on all sides, about 9 minutes for onion, 6 minutes for tomatillos and chillies, and 4 minutes for garlic. Cool. Peel garlic. Trim core from onion. Scrape some of burnt skin off chillies; stem. Seed chillies for milder salsa, if desired. Coarsely chop onion, chillies, and garlic. Transfer tomatillos and all vegetables to blender. Add coriander and 1/2 teaspoons sugar; puree until smooth. Season to taste with coarse salt.

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over high heat. Carefully add tomatillo mixture (juices may splatter). Stir until slightly thickened, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add broth and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture measures 375g , about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and more sugar and lime juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill.
