Lisa's Tomatillo and Strawberry Pie image

I was overrun with tomatillos in my garden and had to do something with them. After tasting the ripe ones (they turn purple) and realizing they taste a lot like rhubarb, I made a few alterations to one of my favorite rhubarb pie recipes from allrecipes.com and viola, a new creation! I was totally amazed with the taste and I think you will be too!

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pastry for 9-inch double crust pie
3 cups sliced ripe tomatillos
3 cups sliced strawberries
¼ cup instant tapioca
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or more to taste
3 tablespoons butter, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Stir tomatillos, strawberries, tapioca, sugar, and lemon juice together in a bowl; let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 15 minutes. Spoon tomatillo-strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Scatter butter slices over filling.
  • Cover pie with second pie crust and pinch edges together to seal. Cut slits into top crust for ventilation. Place pie on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes.

The crust on this pie was a bit too crumbly for my taste.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less tomatillos.

I'm not a big fan of tomatillos, but I really enjoyed this pie. The strawberries help to balance out the tartness of the tomatillos.

This pie is a bit tart, but I like that. The crust is also very flaky and buttery.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of tomatillos, but I'm so glad I did! The tomatillos and strawberries complement each other perfectly, and the crust is out of this world.

This pie was a huge hit at my last party! The combination of tomatillos and strawberries is unique and delicious, and the crust is flaky and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
