This is one of those recipes that can serve as a base that you can tweak to match your family’s need for heat. You can add more Garlic, and/or roast more incendiary Hot Chile Peppers. I always make it a day or two ahead to avoid kitchen craziness later. If you haven’t grown and cooked with Tomatillos before, you’ll likely get hooked fast. Don’t be surprised to find that the husks are not always that easy to remove, and that the fruit is often sticky once the husks are removed. They just need a little wash up. If your plants are heavy with fruit, no worries. Harvest when ripe. Husk, wash and dry them. Freeze them on a cookie sheet and bag them in air tight freezer bags. It’s so nice to have a stockpile for the winter. We love to serve it on the side with Sue Torres’ Mexican chorizo and monteray jack cheese fondue. (You can snare her recipe along with a how-to Martha Stewart video here.) -

We love to have quick-fix recipes at the ready for items that we always have in the pantry and freezer, and this recipe qualifies. Frozen raw shrimp thaw out quickly in a cool to room temperature water bath and we always have a piece of peeled ginger root in the freezer ready to grate. By freezing peeled ginger root, you can avoid wasting unused ginger root, plus, it grates better when frozen. If we ever have too many lemons, we squeeze them and pour the juice into ice cube trays, and then store the frozen lemon cubes in airtight freezer bags for quick use. This recipe comes together so quickly. -
Looking for a fun snack for a Halloween party? Reserve the Pumpkin seeds from all of the Pumpkins carved for jack-o’-lanterns or cut up and roasted for Pumpkin purée. Make crunchy, sweet Roasted Spiced Pumpkin Seeds. Referred to as "pepitas", they are good all by themselves as a seasonal snack or strewn atop fall salads and even apple-pear crisps. Make sure to remove the outer husks from the interior green seed as it is the seed that is so good to eat, not the husk.
