Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Sunny's Cilantro Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Directions
Remove the outer dry husks of the tomatillos to reveal the bright green skin. Rinse in slightly warm water to remove the sticky film covering them. Chop into bite-size chunks.
In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the chopped tomatillos in a single layer. Cook until the bottom edges become golden, flip, then repeat process a few times until most of the tomatillos reveal a golden brown side, about 3 minutes between tosses. Remove with a slotted spatula to a plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss in or drizzle over Sunny's Cilantro Vinaigrette.
Sunny's Cilantro Vinaigrette:
- 2 teaspoons honey Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Blend all the ingredients in a mini food processor or blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: 1 cup

This rating is just for the sake of the website.
I would make it in Indian style which is a sweet sour chutney of green tomatoes that we get in India and post later how it was.

I have never made nor eaten tomatillos before, but this recipe rocks! Tangy and refreshing. I loved it. Not bitter at all! I actually have some of the vinaigrette left. I plan to use it as a marinade to bake some boneless skinless chicken breasts!

Terrible - sorry. I cut down this recipe but did everything else according to directions. It was extremely tart and went in the garbage. I think the vinaigrette was OK, but relatively tart on top of the very tart tomatillos.
