Tomatillo Crudo

 

Tomatillos I picked today!


October has brought a bumper harvest of tomatillos. I love their fresh and slightly tangy taste, but this is the first year I have ever grown tomatillos and I have very little experience cooking with them. Thankfully, I have some fancy friends who passed along a recipe they use for Tomatillo Crudo. I love this recipe. It is easy, delicious and never lasts long in our house. But I also love the recipe because it is from Kate and Omar Ortiz. They are fantastic friends who recently relocated to San Diego. Our family misses their family very much, but making this recipe and enjoying its deliciousness reminds me of them, and makes me happy. 


I don't always have cilantro, but I have had a bumper crop of Italian parsley. That has worked well, and I sometimes add lime or lemon. 

Boston misses you Ortiz family!
