Tomatillo Chile Sauce
The tomatillos. Boil fresh tomatillos and chiles in salted water to cover until tender, 10 to 15 minutes, drain. For canned tomatillos, simply drain.
The Puree. Place tomatillos and chiles in blender or food processor, along with coriander, onion and garlic; if using a blender, stir well. Process until smooth, but still retaining a little texture.
The sauce. Heat vegetable oil in medium large skillet set over medium-high. When hot enough to make a drop of puree sizzle sharply, pour it all in at once and stir constantly for 4 to five minutes, until darker and thicker. Add broth, let return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon. (About ten minutes). Season with salt.
