Enchilada Sauce "Salsa Negra"

Ingredients

• 3 dried negro (pasilla) chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
• 3/4 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
• 1/4 white onion
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• Water to cover
• 3/4 pound Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or to taste

Directions

Place chile peppers in the bottom of a small saucepan. Add tomatillos, onion, and garlic. Pour in enough water to almost cover tomatillos. Arrange tomatoes over tomatillos.

Cover saucepan and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.

Pour off most of the water and transfer mixture to a blender; puree until smooth. Season with chicken bouillon to taste.
