Recipe News: 3 recipes for tomatillos: You'll love their gentle tartness

At one time, you could only find these slightly tart members of the tomato family in Latin American grocery stores. But today, if you check out the produce section of your local supermarket, chances are you'll fine them right next to the ginger and garlic. In spite of their name (they mean little tomatoes in Spanish) and appearance, tomatillos are not baby green tomatoes. Popular in Mexican cuisine, these little fruits have a sour, more lemony flavor than their better-known cousins. When raw, they brighten any salsa or salad, while cooked ones add depth to savory stews and sauces. If they look and sound new, they still may taste familiar: think salsa verde or green enchiladas.

Includes recipes for:


  • Fresh Tomatillo Salsa

  • Pork Enchiladas With Green Sauce

  • Slow-Roasted Tomatillos and Tomatoes
