Tomitillos

>>8642650
why would you put something bland in salsa?

>>8642650
We sometimes mix some of the tomatillos from the garden with the spaghetti sauce we're jarring. It's definitely brighter, and more tart. It's cool in the summertime.

>>8642650
bitch you haven't lived until you make gazpacho with these babies

>>8642734
I've had a neighbor who grew them. These tomitillos took over their garden and killed the green pepper plants and various other veggies. I hate tomitillos anyway because they're bland and full of seeds, bitch.

>>8642650
Just let them get ripe. The ones in the pic aren't even red yet.

>>8642650

in mexico city these babys are known in as simple "tomates", while the classic red tomatoes, are called "jitomates"

and yeah, they are pretty much only used for salsa verde and related recipes, such as "enchiladas suizas" or "chicharron verde"

>>8643155

>>8642755
I hope you drown in a vat of gazpacho.

>>8643419
or I will drown the vat of gazpacho how about that.

>>8643429
Let's see you try, gazpacho hater. The gazpacho will win.

I don't like them either.
I've got 5 or so pots of tomatillo's growing this year and the salsa i've made with them has been very disappointing.
I'm not sure if I'm just picking them at the wrong time or cooking them wrong but they end up tasting musky/perfumey. Is that what they're supposed to be like? Because i've never eaten them before.

>>8643439
I'd win by default. and fuck your gazpacho

>>8643454
I tried to grow several tomatillos last year and every fruit was infested with worms. I don't use pesticides in my garden, so I can imagine how saturated they are with your Monsanto friendly pesticides.

Enjoy your corporate welfare pesticides. They will certainly be increasing in the land of corporate freedom.

>>8643581
lmao I don't use pesticides either, just organic fertiliser and seaweed concentrate.
Where do you live? Here in australia I don't seem to have any problems with pests.

>>8643167
And mole verde, mole amarillo, pozole etc etc

>>8642650
My chili verde is approximately 20% tomitillos by mass.

>no prolem with pests

Yeah, I live in Mississippi and sometimes I wonder if the bugs are more of a pest than the humans. Lately I've come to the conclusion the "down home good christian folk" are worse.
