I love Tomatillos for salsas and chutneys, combine them with cilantro and you have what I think is one of natures perfect flavor combinations. The new Pineapple Tomatillo from The Cook’s Garden sounds very interesting.
From The Cooks Garden:
You will not believe the flavor of these little gems. The golden-yellow fruits, about the size of a large blueberry, taste just like pineapple. Low-growing plants produce huge yields of tomatillos surrounded by papery husks that turn from green to brown and split open when they are ready to harvest. Pull back the husks and dip in melted chocolate for a surprising dessert. Use additional harvests for making pineapple salsa or chutney.
Watch for these Tomatillos to premiere on their website in the next couple weeks.
They also have a recipe for these new little gems.
Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped pineapple tomatillos
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Add salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours for flavors to meld.
Sounds delicious, I’m sure I’ll have to give this recipe a try this summer.
