Tomato Salsa and Salsa Verde.
I found some tomatillo plants at the garden center this spring and planted them in the garden, specifically because I had never used tomatillos in cooking and I knew that this would force me to do it. The plants produced prolifically and i perused the web a bit and combined and modified a couple of recipes and came up with what everyone thought was a pretty good Salsa Verde (Green Sauce). We used it as a dip with chips, but it could be served over chicken or other Mexican recipes.
