Default tomatillos!

These have been abundant at local farmers market so I bought some and decided to experiment. They're a little tart, have a bit of crunch, and have a taste note of green apples. I read they have pectin so I added them to a vegetable soup; also added raw to salads. Often used to make salsa verde, also good cooked with roast pork or even chicken.

But best thing so far was a crustless quiche:

- soften 1/4 stick of butter, then use for thin butter layer on glass pie dish (I think mine's 9")
- cut tomatillos into small slices and spread thickly on top of butter layer
- beat 4 eggs, add a dot of yellow or dijon mustard and a teaspoon of sour cream; mix and then spread eggs on top of tomatillos
- sprinkle some fresh herbs on top if you have them, I used parsley and basil
- cover with foil, bake slowly in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes (I don't like the eggs overcooked; covering with foil helps steam eggs as well as bake them so gets firm without drying out)

Great combo with the eggs, maybe it's the pectin; was also really good as leftover slice the next day!

wash & remove paper husks from tomatillo's, put on a cookie sheet and roast in oven at 350 for 15 minutes or until they pop...

you can make pork chili verde
or green salsa with the roasted tomatillo's... awesome fruit!
add to soups, casseroles, or freeze in a freezer bag for next recipe.
