I have now made salsa verde! I went with a simple version where I just ran tomatillos, onion, chili, and cilantro in a blender, fried the result in some oil and cooked it for a while, added salt, and bottled it. It is delicious: at once sour, fruity, and spicy. Last year I was like: oh, tomatillo, that's a cool crop I've never grown before, but what should I do with it? I see now that salsa verde is its destiny.

I was also going to save some seeds from the tomatillo I harvested, but to my surprise, none of them had seeds at all, even the fruits which were obviously mature! And there were no small immature seeds, either. *baffled* I mean, I grew mine from seed (that I got from someone else), so obviously the variety has seeds. I have two plants close together, having read that they need cross-pollination to set fruit. Does anyone have an explanation? The variety is Queen of Malinalco.
