I'm going to use fresh tomatillos in place of canned in a soup. I was planing to dice and saute them, should I peel them first? Thanks!

To anyone who stumbles on this post, let me save you the time and say it's not worth your time processing fresh tomatillos. Been there done that. Here's a guide for other foods in case you are interested: https://bananomad.com/health-and-fitness/canned-vs-fresh-vegetables/

Thanks! I did not peel them. I chopped them and added them with the rest of my veggies and they were perfect. :) I love this place.

Peeling shouldn't be necessary. In fact, you may not even need to saute them first, although that certainly wouldn't hurt anything.
