Salsa Verde Cruda
Tomatillos are small green tomatoes native to Mexico. There are several varieties and different names for them depending on the region. In Australia, you can occasionally find fresh ones in markets - usually between November to March - or you can grow your own. The easier alternative is to use canned tomatillos. This delicious salsa verde is raw version that has a strong and bitey flavour. To serve with hot dishes, such as chilaquiles and eggs, you can boil the finished salsa for 2-4 minutes for a delicious and warm addition.
