ingredients

1 French bread, cut in 1 inch slices
¹⁄₂ cup olive oil
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, well washed
5 green tomatillos, husks removed and washed
2 green anahaim chilies (or use canned green chiles)
¹⁄₂ small onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk

directions

In a skillet with hot oil, fry bread slices until golden brown and set aside.
In the blender place cilantro, tomatillos, green chiles, onion
and garlic cloves adding one cup of chicken broth and blend to make a pureé.
Fry this mixture in the same skillet where the bread was fried. Add chicken broth and simmer until reduced and thickens a little.
Add evaporated milk. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes and rectify the salt. (If it looks too thick, add some more chicken broth).
Serve warm with bread slices and shredded white cheese on top.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen. Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
