Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde     

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh tomatillos, husked, washed and halved
1 large white onion, quartered
3 green chiles, Anaheim or Poblanos, seeded and halved
4 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp Mexican oregano
1 Bunch Cilantro
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 tsp sugar

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place tomatillos in a baking pan with onion, chiles, and garlic. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until onion is beginning to brown and chiles are soft.
Let cool. Remove skin from chiles under cold water. Process tomatillos, onions, chiles and garlic with salt, pepper, cilantro, oregano, sugar and broth until smooth. If you are serving with meats—like pork shoulder or chicken thighs—cut meat into bite size pieces, sear in oil until well browned, then add sauce and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Otherwise, return sauce to a hot, lightly oiled pan and fry for 5- 10 minutes over medium heat. Season to taste, garnish with cilantro and serve over rice and beans, over eggs or with homemade chips.
