Matt, my pods came with a copy of a recipe from Diana Kennedy's "The Art of Mexican Cooking". It says that this is a salsa/table sauce that is the predomimant table sauce in Oaxaca. Mostly just tomatilas, pasillas and garlic. I need to find the tomatillas and make some of this. Will let the list know what I think. I did take a bite of one of the pods when I got them - very interesting taste, smoky/fruity, bitter/sweet all at once. I think it might be really good mixed with some black beans and served with cornbread. Ever try that? Fred the habaneronut
