Tomatillo Madness - 3 lbs of homegrown Tomatillos dealt with. 3 batches of salsa verde for V (aka Frog) - Super Cilantro, Sweet Pepper, and Spicy (Habanero and Serrano).Starting to think I could use bigger equipment (food processor, cooking pots) so maybe it wouldn’t take all evening, but what I used tonight was free so I can’t complain too much. I think peeling the skins off small home grown onions also slowed me down significantly, although I did figure out how to prevent the food processor from spewing stuff everywhere by the second batch.The remaining Tomatillo plants are still producing, but they’re looking increasingly unhappy, and the fruits they are producing are tiny at this point. Don’t expect to get too much more out of them for the season.Now the seed packet we used was of supposedly a purple variety, but we’ve had very very few purples. I just set up another attempt at seed saving the most purple ones via the wet/ferment process, we’ll see how it goes. I tossed out the first one b/c bugs had found it and it was looking supericky. There’s no discernable flavor difference, they just look really neat (and indulge me in my pet theories re: healthy anthocyanins). When you cook them they lose a bit of their purple though.I have to admit that tomatillos are one of, if not THE easiest edible plant we have ever grown. They form these delightful paper lantern shells and just grow so effortlessly. If you, or someone you know, loves salsa verde or other tomatillo-based foods I highly recommend them. -- source link
