We went to the Fruit Stand yesterday. I love taking my 4 year old because everything is so new and exciting there for him. We usually find something that is new and exciting for me too. 
Yesterday we found Tomatillos and I remembered that my cousin has posted a recipe on Facebook for green salsa. It was kismet and I needed to try it.
15 tomatillos
2 Anaheim chilies
1/2 large onion
1/2 tsp salt
handful of cilantro
juice of 1 lemon
The secret is to dry roast the tomatillos, chilies and onion in a pan until they're soft then puree everything together in the food processor.

The first thing we did when we got home was watch the YouTube video on what these things even were and what the heck I was supposed to be doing with them. I didn't even know how to peel or clean them; let alone cook them into a recipe that was going to be edible. They were very strange to me. It turns out that I picked some that were over-ripe and some that were bad because I didn't know what I was looking for. Chalk it up to experience and being hungry and feeling adventurous while shopping.
We began by running them under warm water and pulling the husks off. They have a sticky residue on them and the warm water seemed to remove it pretty well.
