Tomatillos are considered a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine. However, it was the Aztecs that were the first to domesticate them in 800 BC. Also known as “tomate verde (green tomato)”, tomatillos have a vibrant, tart flavor. They can be eaten raw, sauteed, boiled, roasted, broiled, fried, and in soup.
Storage: Tomatillos can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Store them loose in an unsealed paper bag. To help keep them fresh and free of bruises, don't peel back the husks until you're ready to eat them.
