Yeah well worth unfortunately you haven't squeezed and shipped for the masses that don't live in the frying pan. Personally I am fine with importing a little citrus instead of living in a climate where it will grow!



Adding more "real lime" juice helped it, actually. Maybe the tomatillos weren't quite as ripe, but I think I went way over on garlic. It was halfway to hummus I used to make. Not a bad flavor, probably great on crackers, but not tortilla chips. And thinking about that, it was good, just not right, now I want to roast some red peppers and make hummus.

I was referring to Lisa's comment on the high price of tomatillos not the citrus. :)

lol I forgot about that hummus plan, now I'm hungry for it for the 2nd time today...I'll have to remember to get some tahini, haven't made it in years. Not since I started canning peppers, for sure. Have to look into that, too, canning roasted peppers.


I may as well ask now. Worth, do you have inexpensive tahini in Texas? lol

I think there are some places in Austin that dont jack the price up.
One of which I go to if I am in the area. :)

Looks nice. :)

[QUOTE][I]Looks nice.[/I][/QUOTE] Thank you. Glad to have them, and, being volunteers, they feel a bit like gifts.

Last year we had a volunteer ground cherry. It grow huge.
I don,t know where it came from. It grew in a newly made flower bed. I had never seen or planted ground cherry before.
Basically it was just like tomatillo, but with numerous small fruits

I started tomatillo way late.
Just ysterday i pot up few good ones.
I,ll plant them in a container as garden space is all taken.
If you like tart tomatoes, try some tomatillo in yiur salad or salsa.
I like to make salsa style salad with diced tomato , cukes, onion, bell pepper, tomatillo. Dress it with salt, black pepper ,lime juice , bit of olivel oil. Then grab a spoon and enjoy.
Its refreshing when the weather is hot.

Two days ago I started three for this year. As I have a wilt issue in the garden affecting tomatoes, this time the tomatillos are going in buckets in case the soil issue caused their demise last year. ;)

Thanks for the recipe. It sounds very summery and refreshing!
