Food & Cooking Recipes Quick & Easy Recipes Creamy Tomatillo Sauce 3.5 (17) Close Yield: Makes 3 1/2 cups This sauce gets its creamy texture from buttermilk and avocado. You can even bring even more rich tanginess to the mix by swapping low-fat Greek yogurt for the buttermilk. Try it on our Turkey Kebabs. Directions In a small saucepan, combine tomatillos, jalapeno, and enough water to cover ingredients by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a blender and add onion. Puree until smooth. Add cilantro, buttermilk, and avocado. Season with coarse salt; puree until smooth.
