COOKING DAY, PART 3: Tomatillo and Yellow Tomato Salsa

Okay, we’re in business. Ingredients have been bought, tomatoes are roasting for Sarah’s sauce (recipe in the comment section), and I’m about to embark on Yellow Tomato Soup, as suggested by Mike.

But first, a glance at Tomatillo and Yellow Tomato Salsa from Epicurious, which originally appeared in Gourmet in 1994:

Pretty, no? Though it still has to sit for awhile, I liked this right out of the gate. It’s very mild (but can be less so if you add more jalapeno), and the tomatillos are a nice twist. Also, the recipe makes enough to fit into the trunk of a Buick. The Husband-Elect can eat a lot of salsa, but this is gonna last awhile.

Next up: Sarah’s sauce.

Tomato count: 6 down, 33 to go.

(Um … uh-oh.)
