They look suspiciously like green tomatoes in a papery husk, but make no mistake, tomatillos have a distinct, tart flavor and function all their own. They are a staple in the Mexican kitchen and are the base for salsa verde and other green sauces. Tomatillos have just started popping up at the market– these were at The French Garden– and their season will run for another couple of months.
