Adapted from a favorite recipe from Steven Raichlan's newest cookbook,

" High-Flavor, Low-Fat Mexican Cooking " (Viking, 1999), this low-fat green

salsa is made with tomatillos.

 

Roast tomatillos in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until

lightly browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, turning with tongs. Transfer

them to plate.

 

Add onion, garlic and chiles to skillet and roast until lightly browned, 6

to 10 minutes, removing vegetables to plate as they are done.

 

In a food processor, combine roasted vegetables, cilantro, sugar, salt and

pepper to taste. Puree to coarse paste. Add stock as needed to make

pourable sauce. Adjust seasonings.
