Hello SalsaSnobs,

I got a lot of tomatillos and I don’t know what else to do with it. I have enough salsa verde for me and my whole family.
I might just simply pickle some. Any ideas?

    Pozole de pollo verde. Caldo de pollo verde. Mole verde. Enchiladas verdes.

    Anything you normally use red tomatoes for, you may be able to substitute or supplement with tomatiillos. I’d be interested in integrating tomatillos into something like a pasta or pizza sauce. I’m sure it can be done. Never tried or seen it done though.

    Not sure if these are dishes but you could make a tomatillo sauce with shredded chicken to use for flautas. Maybe freeze a bit of that and save for the next time you’re up to making tamales at home.

  2. Check out Jonathan Zaragoza’s salsa 101 videos on YT. Almost all of them involve tomatillos. I know this because tomatillos are extremely hard to find in my part of the world.

    Red tomatillo salsa like Chipotle!

    I posted a recipe on the Chipotle sub that’s got good reviews, search for red tomatillo salsa.

    Tomatillo, arbol, water, garlic salt pepper and cumin, dash of Tabasco. Really good on lots of things! Keeps pretty well.
