I can get a 10 pound box of really good looking tomatillos for $10.18.
That's a good price around here and I have never seen better looking
tomatillos. I know I can freeze tomatoes whole and use in a recipe where
the tomatoes are cooked. Can I do the same with tomatillos? If so, do I
take the husks off first?

I would agree with the URL about freezing especially since it is the
taste of tomatilloes rather than their texture that is important, IMHO.

I take the husk off, wash them (they are a little bit sticky) then
freeze them whole in plastic bags.

be sure to roast them in either the oven, broiler, or grill before you
use them in salsa..intensifies the flavor. they can be quite hot/
spicy, so don't be ashamed of adding a tomato to the mix, along with
the onions & garlic.

What, tomatillos can be hot and spicy? I've never had one that was more
than mildly tangy. IME there's no heat at all.

really? I didn't know that they could be spicy. That's interesting to
know. You talk about roasting before making salsa. . .is this just for
cooked salsa or do you use them roasted in a fresh salsa as well? I do
roast peppers and tomatillos before cooking with them, just never thought of
doing so in a fresh preparation. Thanks for the info.

I think the poster got tomatillos mixed up with chili peppers.
