Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

When I first tasted this recipe I immediately fell in love.  It's got such a great flavor, with a hint of heat and a hint of sweet.  I put this sauce on all my burritos, chicken or pork.

Ingredient List:

3 Anaheim Peppers, seeded and cut in half

2 Jalapeno Peppers, seeded and cut in half

7 Tomatillos, husked

1 Onion, quartered

1 tsp. Garlic, minced

1 sm. can Diced Green Chilies

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Chili Powder

2 tsp. Cumin

1/8 C. Apple Cider Vinegar

1/4 C. White Sugar

1 sm. bunch Cilantro

Place all peppers skin side down on a baking sheet including the onion quarters and tomatillos, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.  Flip everything once midway through roasting.  Then turn on boiler and roast until tomatillos and peppers begin to brown.  The aroma in your home will be amazing!

Place all roasted ingredients into a blender and add the garlic, chilies and cilantro.  Puree until well blended.  (Shameless Plug Warning!  The Pampered Chef Measuring Colander is a great tool!  It has Cup Measurement markings and it's a colander too, so you can measure out exact amounts of berries or leafy items, and rinse them all at the same time!)

Add the pureed mixture to a saucepan and add the remaining ingredients.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
