Though they may look like baby, green tomatoes, tomatillos are actually a different species of fruit and have a distinctive flavor. Sometimes known as husk tomatoes, due to their outer leaves, once these leaves are removed and the tomatillos are rinsed of their sticky film, these lemony babies are ready for a myriad of culinary uses. Highlight their bright piquancy by serving them raw in a salsa or vinaigrette; or slice thinly and use them to balance the fat of a delicious ricotta toast. If you want a more mellow flavor, try grilling tomatillos whole before using them for sauces and sides; or sautée with onions and peppers for a new fajita base.
