    I have really been enjoying the Field-Goods packages I have been getting this year.  It has forced me to try and use ingredients I don't normally try.  One being tomatillos!  Oh, I have had tomatillo salsa before, but I have never used a tomatillo in my life before I received them in one of my recent weekly treats.

    At first I was thinking I didn't want to make a salsa.  I thought to myself that I just wanted to try and find something different.  Then, I decided that I wanted to make homemade flour tortillas.
    I had some steak and started thinking steak fajitas.  So the salsa is where I went.  I found a recipe for Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa on allrecipes.com and decided that was the way I wanted to go with this salsa.  I wanted that charred, smoky flavor to be infused into it.

    This turned out absolutely delicious.  I didn't have as much garlic as the recipe called for but I had 3 really large cloves and I felt that would be enough for me.  At first I thought it was going to be too spicy after tasting it mixed up with just the peppers, tomatillos, garlic, salt and cilantro.  The recipe called for an optional ½ cup of water (if needed).  I decided it was needed.  I added the water, gave it another whiz and then decided it needed a little bit of something else.  So I added the juice of ½ lime.  Perfection.  I LOVED the flavor and it was excellent on my steak fajita!

    Now I'm thinking of my next Field-Goods package and wondering what I may be getting that I can experiment with this coming week!  Can't wait.  🙂

      Shelby, this recipe caught my eye at "roasted". I too have not worked with #tomatillos, but roasting them sounds so delish. One my "to do" list! Thanks!

        I enjoyed it mixed with mayonnaise and on a turkey, lettuce, tomato sandwich on Sunday and today on a flour tortilla wrap (homemade!) with lettuce, tomato and stripples!
