Swap tomatillos with green tomatoes: <\/strong>Tomatillos have a unique taste that\u2019s challenging to substitute. However, if you can\u2019t find them, unripe green tomatoes may offer a similar flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Store Tomatillo Salsa<\/h2>\n
This tomatillos salsa recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to seven days. A glass or nonreactive container is preferred, as it helps prevent interactions with the salsa’s acidic ingredients.<\/p>\n
Tomatillo Salsa Tips<\/h2>\n
Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat is salsa made of?<\/h3>\n
Most traditional salsa recipes include an assortment of fresh produce, including tomatoes, onions, cilantro and lime. However, many variations of salsa exist. Some of the most common types of salsa include pico de gallo, salsa verde and salsa roja.<\/p>\n
What does a tomatillo taste like?<\/h3>\n
Raw tomatillos have a slightly acidic flavor with bright, fresh, tangy notes. However, when cooked, tomatillos become much milder and sweeter, akin to the taste of fresh tomatoes.<\/p>\n
What do you use tomatillos for?<\/h3>\n
Although tomatillos may look like tomatoes, they are not considered part of this family and are better categorized as a type of nightshade fruit. They\u2019re typically small in size and have a paper-like covering that\u2019s removed before eating. Raw or cooked tomatillos can be used in various dishes, such as blended into salsas and soups or tossed into salads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Just so there will be more to eat Great and so simple!!!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"08\/04\/2011 14:47","GUID":"4e62f0c6bf4f4f9ebffc50cfa2542272","MemberId":4018476,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kcgardener","SubmittedDate":"08\/04\/2011 14:47"},{"Comment":"
I loved this salsa! Very fresh tasting and a good alternative to normal salsa. I did follow the magazine's directions and cook the tomatillos. Next time I'll try as originally intended to compare the difference.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"07\/16\/2011 11:31","GUID":"b72b9b99845f46a2aecb9496139b8373","MemberId":1196484,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"justmbeth","SubmittedDate":"07\/16\/2011 11:31"},{"Comment":"
As the original submitter of this recipe, this was intended to be a fresh salsa. The editors changed the directions. When I make it, it is done 100% in the food processor. I did not submit it as a cooked recipe, although I'd like to hear feedback about how you like the cooked version. Thanks!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"07\/02\/2011 22:33","GUID":"cc86efbcbc44409e9a24ee5b74e4c747","MemberId":5325664,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Lori Kostecki","SubmittedDate":"07\/02\/2011 22:33"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
