How To Make pork tenderloin slow & scrumptious (sallye)

    TO FIRE ROAST CHILES AND TOMATILLOS: Option #1 - If you have a gas stove or smoker, you can place the tomatillos and chiles over the open fire to roast. Option #2 - Place tomatillos and chiles on baking sheet and place under oven broiler for just long enough for them to blacken (about 2 minutes per side). Remove and place in paper bag and close it. Leave in bag for about 5 minutes, then remove. The blackened skins will then be easy to remove. For milder sauce, remove seeds from chiles; for more robust flavor leave them in.

    Finely mince garlic cloves. Finely dice tomatillos and chiles (if you let them get too soft, you can just make a paste out of them). Thinly slice onion

    TO MAKE SAUCE: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, place canned tomatoes, salsa, cumin and half of diced garlic. Heat for about 5 minutes until steaming but not boiling, remove from heat. Stir in tomatillos and chiles.
