Tomatillo salsa
Nud Dudhia's zingy, fresh tomatillo salsa recipe is perfect on Mexican tacos or simply as a corn chip dip. If you want to ramp up the smokiness, roast the tomatillos in a dry pan until blackened before blending. Tomatillos are closely related to the cape gooseberry, which makes a decent substitute when they're in season if you can't get hold of fresh tomatillos.
