Answer 2

It is a tomatillo - The tomatillo (toe-ma-tea-o) is of Mexican origin and has been introduced into the United States. It now grows everywhere in the Western Hemisphere and is common in Texas gardens. The husk tomato plant produces an edible fruit enclosed in a thick husk. The husk is brown and the fruit yellowish when it is ripe. The plants will grow to a height of three to four feet.

Culture - The husk tomato has the same cultural requirements as the tomato: fertile soil, ample soil moisture and a long, warm growing season. Plant after all danger of frost in full sunlight. Space plants about 18 inches apart in rows three feet apart. Mature fruit are produced in about 120 days.
We eat them in salsa both fresh and cooked. My mother used to boil the husks in the water she used to make bunuellos. She claimed they gave the dough more elasticity. I hope I was helpful.

It is definitely a tomatillo. What you do is peel off the outer papery covering, then rinse under cool water since it is sticky.
At that point you can use it to make salsas or sauces for Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking.
