I have always been curious about cooking with tomatillos. I have seen them at grocery stores, looked at them, but since I didn’t know what to make with them, I didn’t buy them. But I have tried salsa verde at restaurants, and when I started looking for a list of ingredients and a recipe, I found out that one of the ingredients of salsa verde are tomatillos. I finally had something I could make with tomatillos!

One interesting thing that I found out about tomatillos during my research is that they are not related to tomatoes. Because their look is similar to that of green tomatoes, I thought that tomatillos could be relatives of tomatoes. Turns out they aren’t, but rather, they are relatives of gooseberries.

Back to salsa verde. This salsa verde recipe is very simple – all you need are tomatillos, onions, cilantro, pepper flakes and a lime. I liked using roasted tomatillos and combine them with raw onions, raw cilantro, pepper flakes and lime juice. The flavor of this salsa is extremely fresh and delicious. You have a light spicy note from onions and pepper flakes, a fresh note from lime juice and the salsa is great.
