Homemade Enchillada Sauce:
Heirloom tomatillos are one of my favorite varieties of types of plants that are highly productive with the tomatillo fruits and the seed for the following year. These heirloom tomatillos very quickly can develop perennial tendancies from its cultural background being traced to South and Central America as a perennial tropical vegetable.
We love to make salsa verde with all of our buckets of tomatillos that we harvest.
