Diane asked about recipes for tomatillos. In addition to the obvious salsa verde, I've used them with shrimp, scallops or even chicken, as well as in lighter vegetarian dishes. They have a pleasant slightly sweet taste and nice firm texture, so goes well on dishes such as shrimp on a skewer, maybe with a light dusting of ancho powder on the shrimp. for the vegetarian side, I've served tomatillos with artichoke hearts and mushrooms, over pasta with olive oil and garlic, usually with medium heat level peppers such as cayenes ; also over rice.
