Description
Salsa verde — tomatillo-based green sauce — exists across a spectrum from raw (cruda) to cooked (asada, hervida, or frita) with each method producing a different flavour character from the same base ingredients. The tomatillo's husk (papery husks from the plant of the same name) contains withanolides — compounds that produce a sticky, slightly bitter note on the fruit's exterior. The husks must be removed and the tomatillos rinsed before use.
