The tomatillo is a classic ingredient in Mexican cuisine and can be notoriously difficult to blend properly without extensive knife work first.
So we were excited when we saw how well the EXPEDITOR™ 1100 Series Culinary Blender could power through them.
Here we present the first in a series of recipes developed exclusively for HBC and our EXPEDITOR™ Family of Culinary Blenders.
Let us know how this take on tomatillo salsa turns out for you -- and stay tuned for the rest of the recipes in the series.
