Instructions
For tomatillos:
- Remove husks from tomatillos and clean the skin. Cut in slices and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together buttermilk and egg. In another shallow dish, stir together cornmeal, flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Dip tomatillo slices into buttermilk mixtures and coat in cornmeal mixture. Once all the slices have been coated start heating you oil.
- Coat the bottom of a 12-inch frying pan with vegetable oil and set over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add in coated tomatillo slices and fry until golden brown, flip and fry till the other side is golden brown. About 3-5 minutes per side.
- Lay fried tomatillo slices onto a wire rack lined baking sheet.
- Add more oil to the pan as needed while frying each batch of tomatillo slices.
- Serve immediately with cover with sauce. You can also sprinkle with minced cilantro and more smoked paprika if desired.
For sauce:
- In a small bowl mix together all ingredients.
- Taste and season with more seasoning if needed.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Notes
- It is normal for the tomatillos to feel sticky after you remove the papery husk. To remove the sticky residue, simply rinse the tomatillos under cool water.
- Serve with the creamy dipping sauce and salsa, or serve plain. You could also put them on top of a burger! Try them on my Cheesy Salsa Burger or my Baja Burger.
