Recipes for tomatillos besides Verde?

We have two tomatillo plants in the garden with four more in starter pots. We love Verde and will definitely make our own when the time comes but what else can I do with them? Recipes and recipe links are a plus. :]

    You can roast them and make soup with other veg, they go well with squash, I use them in salsa, sauces, in guacamole of all things for texture, I once had a few laying around in a restaurant I worked in and I make a green tomato chow chow, this is popular in the Southern US, even slipped into a green tomato pie.

    Be sure to use a ripe pineapple. Tomatillos are very tart—blanching softens their texture and their sour edge.

    Ingredients

    6 small tomatillos (about 8 ounces), husked

    1/2 large pineapple , cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)

    1 chipotle chile en adobo , minced (about 1 teaspoon)

    1teaspoon lime juice

    Table salt

    Instructions

    1. Bring 1 quart water to boil in small saucepan over high heat; boil tomatillos until skins start to pucker, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove tomatillos to bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When cool enough to handle, core tomatillos and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

    2. Toss tomatillos, pineapple, chipotle chile, lime juice, and salt to taste in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.

    I like to roast them with other vegetables, or slice them and throw them on a sandwich.
