Green Pepita Sauce

Step 1

Clean the tomatillos by removing the husk.  Use running water to wash the tomatillos and the serrano peppers. Peel the garlic cloves. Cut a small bunch of cilantro and clean with running water. Let it rest on a towel to dry.

Step 2

In a skillet roast the green pepitas slightly, make sure not to burn. The pumpkin seeds are roasted to release some of the oils for a tasty nutty flavor.

Step 3

In a comal or a skillet roast the tomatillos, the serranos, and the garlic. Make sure to toast well as this roasting process is what gives the authentic Mexican flavor.

Step 4

Place all ingredients in the blender, add some water, granulated sea salt, and cumin.

Step 5

Blend until getting a thick sauce and store on a mason jar or a plastic container with a lid. Keep refrigerated or freeze.
