  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or salt

Instructions

  1. Place tomatillos
  2. jalapenos
  3. and garlic in a large pot. Pour in just enough water to cover the tomatillos; they will float
  4. so press them down with your hand as you measure the water. Bring to a boil over high heat
  5. then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the color of the tomatillos lightens to a yellow color
  6. about 10 minutes. Remove from heat
  7. and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  8. Strain the tomatillos
  9. reserving the water. Place into the bowl of a blender; add the cloves
