Tomatillo, Plaza Latina Giant Green

80 days. Tomatillos are sometimes called tomates verdes. This special giant Mexican strain produces 3-4” wide, green fruits on super tall plants that benefit from support. Seed originally saved from imported Mexican fruit purchased at the Plaza Latina Market in Eugene, Oregon in 2005. Much higher culinary value than the smaller yellowish varieties. We like to think of them as the Brandywine of tomatillos.

Recipe:
 
For an amazing authentic hot sauce...try blending together some hot dried chilies (I prefer Mora or Morita chilies which are smoked Serranos), which have been fried in oil for 2 min, blend with hulled rinsed tomatillos, which have been softened by simmering them in water for 10 min. Add chopped garlic and salt to taste. Then blend a bit more. Super tasty and easy to make. Guaranteed to put any taco over the edge!
