I just made these tonight and they are ridiculously good. I roasted my tomatillos for the salsa. Two jalapenos, which in retrospect, I should have known I wouldn’t be able to tolerate, because I am a spice wimp. I couldn’t stop eating it even though it was burning my lips off. On the upside, I kind of look like I got collagen injections…

these look WONDERFUL. I must try them when I can get my hands on tomatillos again.

a question about roasting over an open flame: I have Indian friends who use this technique for eggplant, but we have gross electric-coil skillets on our apartment stove. Is my only option using the oven? I love roasting in the oven, but it does not have an identical charring effect.

Thanks, Deb! I adore your blog.

Yum! Delicious and easy! Was totally wondering what to do with an acorn squash and this is great!

In a search for vegetarian options (we’ve recently decided to cut back on our meat intake) I found this offering. Wow- they were soooo good! My husband, toddler, and a friend all agreed. My husband was stuffed after eating these (well, he did eat 3), which is pretty uncommon on the nights we go veggie (feeling full, that is). I used fontina cheese and doubled the recipe, which made 10 quesadillas.

I’ve tried several of your recipes and they have all been fabulous- thanks so much for all you do- amazing with a little one so cute! I have a 6 mos old as well(they’re 15 mos. apart) so I know how hard, yet satisfying, it is to spend time (when you have so little)on a recipe and have it turn out really well! Take care…

These were really delicious. We got a ton of tomatillos in our CSA and this was a perfect was to use them- the tomatillo salsa was bright and flavorful. Great recipe!

Hi. I love your website and I congratulate you on also posting about the failures. You’re sincere. Other than that, I am posting to tell you that I invented a quesadilla recipe myself, which you would like: on half of your tortilla spread cheese, top with caramelized onion, top with roasted bell peppers, olives if you like them and then more cheese, and then fold the other half over. Repeat with another tortilla and place both to form a circle in a preheated non stick skillet with a tight fitting lid. Cook on medium high for 4 minutes thereabout on each side or until it roasts a bit on the bottom, then flip and cook again for approx 4 more minutes. The cheese will melt and maybe ooze and the tortilla shell will be crisp when you bite into it. Please try it !
