Spicy Southwest Grilled Pork Burger with Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
Spicy Southwest Grilled Pork Burger with Tomatillo Salsa | Island Grillstone Recipe
I knew that a spicy hamburger was on the menu today, my taste buds told me so, but it was a walk out to the still unfinished garden that inspired the finished results. I tried my gardening skills with Tomatillos this year and with limited results, I did produce Tomatillos, but they were all rather small though they grew in very abundant quantities. My stroll through the garden produced some Jalapenos, a Yellow Bell Pepper along with some small Tomatillos I picked, along with of this was added an onion, lime garlic and parsley I had in the kitchen.
Time to make some Tomatillo Salsa! Just perfect for the Spicy Southwest Grilled Pork Burger I had in mind for the Island Grillstone.
