Loved it -- a homerun with three not-picky children and one picky husband (didn't get to him at a young-enough age to address the pickiness!. Something different with the flavors of Mexico. Tomatillos were out of season, so I used canned tomatillos found in the ethnic aisle and that worked well. HOWEVER, I am an experienced cook and no way could this be done in 30 minutes. More like two hours, start to finish.

Followed the recipe as written. The citrusy taste of the sauce overpowered the whole dish. I don't think tweaking will help either. Sorry Rachael, you struck out on this one.
