Tomatillos
‘Tis the season of the tomatillo. And so, what to do with these tasty and nutritious fruits when they land at our CSAs and farmers markets?
Last Thursday we posted our recipe for Tomatillo Soup. Over the weekend, we made Tomatillo Salsa, a recipe we got from Dorris and Jilly Cook, with terrific results. (The only deviation, using a habanero pepper rather than a jalapeño, because, hey, it’s what we had on hand.)
Here are two more recipes we’re going to try soon from some of our favorite local blogs.
- Tomatillo Chowder from Straight from the Farm
- White Bean and Tomatillo Chicken Chili from Henry Got Crops
What are your favorite tomatillo recipes?
I just recently made tomatillo salsa, and, like you, I used a habanero pepper. Delicious results!
I had a hard time finding tomatillos, though. I ended up buying them at the Italian Market, which is not my ideal, since I think a lot of the veggies sold there are shipped from afar. Where did you find yours?
Hey Jenni,
We get our tomatillos from Donna’s Pennypack Farm CSA share. I’m pretty sure I recall seeing them at The Fair Trade Farm Stand (I think I got that name right) at Reading Terminal Market. And I definitely saw them, of all places, at the Acme in Flourtown.
Donna and Dan, it was so nice to meet you at yesterday’s cheese tasting. I enjoyed reading your blog this morning over a cup of tea. Beautiful photos, and I love so many of your combinations: peaches with goat cheese, dandelion greens with walnuts. You’ve got a new faithful reader. Best wishes and stay in touch.
