tomatillos

Every so often, I pull out the Cook's Illustrated that my sister gave me for my birthday last January. I decided to make some Enchiladas Verdes (stuffed and baked corn tortillas) and one of the ingredients are small green tomatoes called tomatillos. Tomatillos are these pale-green orbs with an outer papery husk and I was delighted to find them at Carr's grocery. Trying new recipes bring me in touch with another culture while learning new foods, new methods and not to mention some great flavors!
