Notes

This recipe makes about 3 cups of salsa. How to pick tomatillos? Small tomatillos are key (they are sweeter than the big ones) and they should be firm and bright green with no defects on them. The husks should be light brown and fresh (not dried looking). Do I need to remove the husk on the tomatillo? Always remove the husks (they are inedible) and rinse the sticky substance off of the tomatillos before using.
