Tomatillos are Physalis plants and are closely related to tomatoes. The fruits sit in lantern-like husks, which are particularly decorative just before the fruits ripen. As the fruits grow and ripen, they burst open the husk and then fall off. Fully ripe fruits taste sweet, while unripe ones are sour. They are often used in Mexican cuisine for salsas and develop their distinctive aroma, especially when cooked. Due to their high pectin content, tomatillos also give the sauce a nice consistency. Green or yellow tomatillos are used for Salsa Verde. With this purple variety, the salsa turns purple, which looks really great. For the salsa, simply rub a few tomatillos, chillies, onions, and possibly garlic with some oil and roast in a very hot oven or pan. Then blend together with plenty of fresh coriander leaves and a pinch of salt using a blender or hand blender. Tomatillos are very easy to grow. They become large, heavy-yielding plants that also thrive well in pots. The yield is significantly higher if at least two plants are placed next to each other to cross-pollinate.
