Time 45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb tomatillo, husks and stems removed, rinsed
2 -3 serrano chilies, cored and seeded or 1 canned chipotle pepper, seeded
1/2 white onion, sliced each 1/4 inch thick
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream or 3/4 cup creme fraiche
3/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste

Steps:

Position a rack as close to the broiler as possible and heat the broiler. Arrange the tomatillos, fresh chiles (if using), onion slices, and garlic in a small, shallow baking pan. Broil, turning to ensure even cooking, until the tomatillos are soft and slightly blackened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled ingredients to a blender and add the cilantro (if you're using a canned chipotle, add it now, too). Blend until smooth.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the broth and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Taste the sauce. It should be a little tart, but it shouldn't make your mouth pucker. If it's too tart, add more broth and simmer until the sauce thickens again. Remove from the heat and whisk in the crème fraîche or heavy cream and the salt. Let cool slightly before making the enchiladas.
Make Ahead Tips.
The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
