Peel the Tomatoes in Ten Seconds With Boiling Water
Clear one tomatillo – not such a difficult task , but the removal of adhesive, such as paper, peel with a whole bushel can become tedious. Luckily, Andrew Zimmern has advice on how to clean them up in ten seconds . (This also works with garlic!)
All you need is a pot of boiling water. Dip the tomatoes in there for about ten or fifteen seconds, fish them out and gently pull on the skin. All paper clutter disappears and you have a perfectly clean tomatillo ready for salsa.
