Ancho-Tomatillo Sauce

9/20/2009

This recipe comes from "Nuevo Tex-Mex: Festive New Recipes from Just North of the Border" by David Garrido and Robb Walsh. Garrido is the chef/owner of Garrido's restaurant in downtown Austin and is the former Executive chef at Jeffrey's.

Recipe:
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, stemmed and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
6 tomatillos, husked and quartered
2 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken stock (we used veggie stock)
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt

In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tbsps of the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the onion and cook, stirring for about 6 minutes, or until light brown.  Add the serrano, garlic, tomatillos, anchos, guajillos, lemon juice and chicken stock.  Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the chiles are soft.
Transfer the contents of the skillet to a blender, add the cilantro, and puree until smooth. Strain through a sieve into a bowl and season to taste with salt. (We didn't see a need to strain it.)
In another medium skillet over high heat, heat the remaining 2 tbsps olive oil and carefully pour in the strained sauce.  Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it comes to a boil.  Use immediately as a sauce for cooked dishes, or chill and serve as a table sauce.  It will keep, tightly capped, in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    I am always striving to cook at home more. I desire to eat local to help save our planet but I am not perfect. I'm terrible at cooking meat, because I am a germaphobe for one reason among many.

    So here are some of my favorite recipes. You can also find some great non-Austin blogs or resources that I use on this page.
