  • Include the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until you can smell the garlic's aroma.
  • Carefully move the sautéed mixture to a blender. Pour in the broth, add the diced green chiles, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more broth to reach your desired consistency.
