--> Tomatillos
These lovely fruits are in the same family as tomatoes and are
often called Mexican Green Tomatoes or Tomatoes Verde. They are
widely available in most markets and, while tomatillos look like
small green tomatoes covered with a papery husk, that is where
the resemblance ends.
The skin of the tomatillo is tougher and the meat of the fruit
is coarse to mealy (of course a lot of the tomatoes on the market
now are coarse and mealy). The flavor is acidic and has a wonderful
tartness that adds character to salsas, guacamole, moles and sauces.
