I used to live in Mexico and here is my recipe for 'salsa verde' or green
sauce.

1 lb. tomatillos
1 medium onion
a handful of cilantro (fresh coriander)
1 or 2 serrano chiles or other hot green chiles
salt to taste

Take the husks off the tomatillos and wash them well. Drop them into a pot
of boiling water and cook until they lose their bright green color and are
soft, maybe 5 minutes. Drain well.

Put the tomatillos along with the remaining ingredients into a blender or
food processor, and prosess until all ingredients are chopped. Place the
salsa into a bowl and let cool. Use on tacos, etc.

Tomatillos just got mentioned in the pizza thread. I've been
intrigued by the idea of these for, ooh, about a decade, but didn't
find them here (England - Oxford at the time, now London) until a
couple of months ago, when I spotted them for 50p each on a stall at
Borough Market[0]. Of course I bought some. I ended up putting them
in a salsa with tomatoes, fresh green chilli, and lime juice - and
they were gorgeous. I really should get some more. What else is good
to do with them? And is 50p each a reasonable price? That's, um,
about 80 US cents, I think.
