Remember those tomatillos? Well on Sunday, we used them to make the most delicious salsa verde I think I’ve ever had. I’d never made salsa verde before, but after the success of the salsa I’d made the weekend before, I figured I’d give it a shot!
It was the perfect addition to the enchiladas we made that night (post to come soon)!

Juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Steps:
Slice tomatillos in half and place in broiler (cut side down) for 5-7 minutes, until skin becomes slightly blackened.

Okay, I just made my 2nd batch of last week’s salsa to take with us to a friend’s lake place today. So I guess that means I need to try this one now. I love salsa verde but I must admit I’ve always been a little intimidated by tomatillos.
Salsa Verde is my all time favorite. I’ll look for tomatillos at the Farmer’s Market this week.
I was a little intimidated too, but they were really easy to work with. You just had to take off the outer wrapping, cut in half, broil, then throw in the food processor!
