I love chili verde (or chili verte in south Louisiana) but thats probably because I can't remember seeing tomatillos here anywhere. When in Texas and New Mexico yes. I used to go the Hatch chili festival every year. I have been known to cook a pot of chili. So after years in the southwest and south of the border I developed a love of fresh homemade Tex/Mex.
Chili verde is used there ALOT with butts. I specifically like it on on my chicken enchiladas but sadly its like chicken lips in south Louisiana finding a tomatillo. LOL Lady at the store was selling them for 2 for a dollar and I laughed she didn't like me when the owner agreed that price was wrong. The sales lady thought they were green tomatoes. Anyway, I digress.......
Chili Verde ~ Foam
Ingredients:
4 pounds tomatillos Shucked, washed and chopped
2 eachs medium white onions
4 Poblano peppers Charred, peeled, seeded
8 toes garlic
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup lime juice
1 pint chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground ancho pepper
2 eachs large jalapenos chopped and seeded
Directions:
Sweat onions and garlic, add everything else, simmer with lid on for an hour, remove lid and simmer another hour, adding broth if needed. Everything will sweat down. Check and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Run it thru a food processor, blender, food mill or use a potato masher and a sieve.
When ready to use, I add 1 to 2 of cream to the sauce. for a more creamy texture and re-check seasonings.

I can tell there are green chili enchiladas in the near future!
