Tomatillos may look like green tomatoes, but they are more closely related to peppers than tomatoes. Tomatillos have a slightly sour but very smooth flavor, Oven roasting them will produce a smoky counterpoint to the sour. A tasty addition to sauces, soups, stews, and chilis.

Ingredients:
==========
12 Fresh Tomatillos

Directions:
=========
Remove the husk and wash each Tomatillo.

Set the oven on High Broil

Put the Tomatillos in a casserole pan and set on the top rack in the oven.
Use tongs to turn each Tomatillo after 2 or 3 minutes.
Continue to turn each Tomatillo, every few minutes, until most of the sides are somewhat charred.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Throw in a blender and pulse until fully blended.

Store in a freezer-grade zip-top bag. Flatten and freeze.
Use a permanent marker to label and date the back.
