Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You can find fresh tomatillos in some specialist greengrocers or Mexican or South American shops. Tomatillo is a member of the physalis or Cape gooseberry family, and is firm and slightly sour – which is why it's perfect for salsas.
Green or under-ripe tomatoes also work, if you can't get tomatillo. Asian supermarkets or specialist greengrocers often sell guava; if not, a pear would give a similar sweet and savoury flavour.
4-5 tomatillos, or 2-3 large green tomatoes, cut into 1cm dice
3-4 guavas, cut into 1cm dice, or a couple of pears, peeled, cored and diced
3 spring onions, cut in half lengthways and finely chopped
2 medium green chillies, finely chopped
2tbsp chopped coriander, stalks and all
1tbsp chopped mint
2tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mix all of the ingredients together and season to taste.
