Snappy Stuffed Tomatillos, A colorful, cheesy appetizer from Betty Crocker’s Southwest Cooking Posted for Zaar World Tour 5 , This is a tasty recipe for stuffed small red tomatoes I’ve used both cherry tomatoes and Campari tomatoes in this recipe and both make a delicious appetizer or light lunch I am still unsure as to why this recipe says it is for tomatillos when it is obviously for small red tomatoes of some sort Tomatillos are not a type/variety of small red tomatoes, they are a completely different varietal of the fruit (and yes, tomato varietals are fruits not vegetables) And while I’m sure some recipes exist, I’ve never seen one that uses raw tomatillos for anything Tomatillos (little green tomatoes in a green papery husk) are pretty unpalatable when raw (In green salsas, tomatillos are roasted and then pureed ) Just a little info that might help to clarify; not intending to tick off anyone! :-), Oh my! These are so delicious! I prepared about 1/2 recipe and used small tomatoes called Red Delights I did as one reviewer stated and blotted the inside of the tomatoes with a paper towel Instead of serving as an appetizer, I had these as a side with a pan grilled pork chop for lunch Since is it wintertime and a snowy icy day to boot, I did not have fresh corn or tomatoes to use and they were still delish I will definitely make these often and cannot wait till summertime to use fresh produce The stuffing mixture was so good I could just eat it right out of the bowl 🙂 It would also be great as a dip! Yummy! Thanks Tinkerbell!
