I bought one tomatillo plant this spring and while it had hundreds of flowers, no ripening fruit as of August. I did some research and it turns out that tomatillos are one of the only "self-infertile" vegetable plants, ie, it can't produce offspring without a partner plant.
Just as I was about to rip out the tomatillo plant in August, I discovered what seemed to be a small tomatillo ripening and look what I harvested this week...
Somewhere in our neighborhood there must be someone growing tomatillos, or perhaps I've witnessed a tomatillo miracle. If you love tomatillos, you'll love this amazing Tomatillo Dip, which is great for a new tailgate dish, or as a dip with some grilled shrimp.
Tomorrow Autumn is here, so how about some healthy meals inspired by the cooler weather?
