 Ever been a little intimidated by the tomatillo? Well if you've been meaning to introduce yourself for ages, this is your perfect chance. Think of this recipe a little like a blind date; there's an element of risk, but happy ever after might also be just around the corner.
 
  1 lb. tomatillos, husked and roughly chopped
  1 onion chopped
  2 cloves of garlic, minced
  2 chipotle peppers or jalapenos
  4 cups of vegetable broth
  A shot of hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco,
  Salt to taste
  Drizzle with a chipotle-infused oil if using jalapenos
  Cilantro

Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic and peppers in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until juices are drawn out of tomatillos, about 15-20 minutes, and the mixture becomes saucy.
