Tomatillo & Wasabi Sauce

Here’s a great recipe for a wonderful sauce that will compliment so many foods……enjoy!

1 cup green tomatillos (blanched, peeled and diced small)

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (I prefer brown rice vinegar)

2 teaspoons salt,

2 tablespoons wasabi powder

3 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro.

In a small, nonreactive saucepan, combine the tomatillos, sugar, vinegar and salt.

Place saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tomatillos start to break down. Combine the wasabi and water to form a paste, making sure there are no lumps in the mixture. Add the wasabi paste and the ginger to the tomatillos and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool completely. When cool, add the cilantro and refrigerate.
