Green Tomato Sauce (Salsa De Tomatillo Verde)
This unusual sauce is a popular accompaniment to tortilla dishes in Mexico, particularly tacos and enchiladas, but it could also be used as an accompaniment to roast or grilled {broiled) meat, particularly lamb. Canned green tomatoes are available from Mexican provision stores.
