No. 2 : Kitchen Scoop
A tomatillo may look like a tomato – but it is a relative of the cape gooseberry. Peel back the inedible brown husk and look for bright green color, the vivid green will ensure bright tart flavor for your salsa!

Burgans Albarino
Rias Baixas, Spain
About $15.00
A slightly spicy salsa with green veggie notes from the tomatillos is the perfect pair for a Spanish Albarino. Rias Baixas (ree-ahs-buy-shuss) is the region this crisp bright peachy tasting wine hails from. One of the most widely planted grapes in this part of Spain, its a fun change of flavor from the same old Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio.
