This year in my garden I went above and beyond my basic tomato planting regimen and introduced a new garden bedfellow to the rest of the team: Hello Mr. Tomatillo.
Up until about two years ago I was pretty unfamiliar with raw tomatillos. I don’t think I had even put together the fact that they are the main ingredient in my favorite green salsa that I douse my morning eggs in.
But then I started experimenting and made up one of my favorite salsas and posted a plethora of tasty tomatillos recipes.
And that’s when I kinda fell in love with the sticky little buggers.
So this year I planted 3 tomatillos plants, and now its harvest time and ba-da-bing, I have a plethora of tomatillos to peel, rinse and create a loving relationship with.
If you’ve never harvested or cooked with raw tomatillos, the first thing you’ll discover is that within the delicate lotus flower shaped tissue, lies a firm fruit that has an oddly sticky exterior. But not to worry, the raw fruit washes rather clean and the fruit dries clean.
I added a bit more garlic to the recipe and cut down on the amount of sauce from the original since I had about 2 cups left over. So if you’re craving more sauce, make it a double.
If you make this recipe, please let me know! Leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating on this recipe below and leave a comment, take a photo and tag me on Instagram with #foodiecrusheats.
