This was my first time working with fresh tomatillos and was blown away by the texture and color of them. I didn't even know the insides were so melon-y and white inside. Got these from Berkeley Bowl Marketplace [West] and they are normally sold with these dark green, papery husks on them. You need to peel the husks before cooking with them, rinsing thoroughly to remove the sticky sap/nectar left on the shiny skin.
I used these for a Salsa Verde, but you can also make a great soup, gazpacho, sauce or relish.
Tomatillos are my most favorite flavor on the planet...
