Pronounced (moe-lay)
not as in Austin Powers "Molie-molie-mole" :-)
I've heard soooo many times that most of the Mexican food we get in Australia is NOTHING like what they eat in Mexico. So was fascinated to watch the SBS Mexican Food Safari episode. You can see it here on YouTube. I first saw it a few years ago when I was living in Perth packing up my house to move back home to Sydney, and I jumped online to see where I could get some of the wonderful ingredients they were speaking of. Could only find this place in Sydney so put it in my "will do it when I get to Sydney" list. If you're not in Sydney the site is worth a visit as they deliver :)
I still haven't actually been out to the supermarket yet, but I was in one of my local coffee shops and noticed that it's taken on a Mexican kind of feel of late and they had tins of Tomatillios on the shelves to buy so I was so excited to finally try this recipe!
Although Tomatillios look like green tomatoes they are apparently
are a member or the gooseberry family instead!

Crazily delicious! Maybe not the prettiest dish or most appealing to kids, but it's so fresh and nutty tasting! And I bet it will taste better tomorrow too!
Do you have dishes that doesn't looks as amazing as what they taste??
I find a lot of Mexican food tastes delicious but is hard to style and present! My friend who has been to Mexico says the same about the food we have here although the site that you linked to sounds like a great find! :)
