Les Marmitons Tomatillos Soup

Spicy Chicken and Tomatillo Soup 

A Tomatillo is like a green Tomato and is from Mexico.  It has a thin husk on the outside of it and it needs to be removed and wash the tomatillo before slice or cutting to remove anything sticky of the outside of it.

Also if you are adding any kind of pepper to this dish you need to spray a pan and place your peppers on the pan and roast them in your oven.  Turning them while they brown in the oven.  Then when they are tender place them in a paper bag closed for about ten minutes then you will be able to remove the skin.

This is my fourth try getting this blog up and running tonight.  So am going to make this fast before I lose it all again.  The Les Marmitons is a men's cooking club and they have them world wide.  I think they have like six of them in the Atlanta area alone.  They are a lot of fun to work with and they do Charity events  My team worked on the Peach Cobbler and I had them make a Peach Syrup with some Peach Rum thrown into the mix.  The reason for that is because the peaches were not ripe and were very tart.  All peaches are not the same.  When you slice your peaches make sure that the slice is large enough so when your cobbler is cooked the peach still has some firmness to it.  Also taste your recipe before placing your cobbler into the crust.  Like I say not all peaches are created equally  The Peach Cobbler recipe is on this blog.  Please go like my fan page on FB at, Cooking With MadJon & Friends.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.
