I’ve never cooked tomatillos until yesterday. I really like these little green gems and especially since they’re naturally gift-wrapped! Well, the technical term is husk but whatever I think they look cool!
The Roasted Tomatillo Salsa recipe is from the Mexican Everyday cookbook which I picked up in Dec. ‘07 after Claire and I spotted the creator and PBS celebrity chef, Rick Bayless, at his Frontera Grill in Chicago. I didn’t immediately recognize him but I just knew that the well-dressed gentleman with the perfectly groomed goatee in the Macy’s food court taste-testing salsa wasn’t the manager.
What I love about this book is that the recipes are simple yet spicy. So, if you’re on a budget but still want to try some of his creations head to FronteraKitchens.com for free recipes. You won’t be disappointed!
