Instructions
- 1
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Arrange the tomatillos, jalapeños, and poblano cut-side down on a baking sheet. Broil for 8–10 minutes, until the skins are charred and blistered in spots and the tomatillos have softened and released their juices.

Transfer the broiled vegetables and any accumulated juices to a blender. Add the scallion greens, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and chicken broth. Blend on high until smooth, about 45 seconds. Set the verde sauce aside.
