Directions
Put the tomatillos and garlic in a saucepan, then cover them with water. Bring everything to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer until the tomatillos are really soft and a bit translucent, which should take about 10 minutes. Once they’re cooked, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the chipotle peppers, then blend everything together, adding some of the cooking liquid a little at a time until you reach the consistency you like. Finally, season with salt to taste, and you’re ready to enjoy!
Serving Ideas For Family Meals

Storing Food Safely
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze it in small portions and thaw as needed. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination and keep the sauce fresh.
