I picked all ripe tomatillos today. This is what one plant produced:




And these came from second plant:




BUT, second plant is still producing, first plant wilted and I pulled it up. Now, second plant gets more sun. It was squeezed between plant one, and a tomato plant, and didn't get much sun

Salsa Verde!! (yum)

I do use them in salsa.
About 1 lb tomatoes
4 tomatillos
1 medium onion
2 skinless chili's of choice
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dry

Grind up in food processor, and drain thru sieve
Use juice for soup, or whatever you like
What's your recipe? I love salsa!

Debra, pork chili verde was my first thought seeing all those lovely tomatillos.

I don't have a recipe as such. Have to have cilantro, onion, cumin, garlic, and lime juice. After that, it is any combination of canned tomatoes, canned tomatoes with jalapenos, fresh tomatoes, fresh Anaheims and Jalapenos, Vietnamese Chili sauce--whatever I happen to have in the cabinets if I can't get to the store and really, REALLY want something resembling salsa.

Can anyone think of a recipe for a quart of tomatillo juice?

Bloody Green Marys????

That would be fun if I liked them. Anyone want to trade for lime juice? Margarita person here.

Adapt a posole recipe.
Stew some chicken in it.

Saute white onion, butter, garlic. Add chicken broth and tomatillo juice. Simmer 15 minutes. Cool and freeze to make a winter soup later.

Great ideas,

I made pizza dough with it for the Greek pizza I like. The dough is not green, but tastes like sour dough.

That sounds interesting.

This is the pizza:


Things on it from my garden are tomatillos, tomatoes, eggplant, onions.

That looks really good!

It was. I'm making a couple loaves of bread with the rest of the juice. No one will trade me for lime juice. no margaritas to drink with my pizza

Oh, YUM!

Sorry about the limes, but you know there has been a shortage of them and folks are hoarding what they have.

This fall, planting a lime tree in a pot, that can be moved to the porch in bad weather.

Good thinking

Great idea on the lime tree, I love lime.
