Didn't have marsala so I made a quick red-wine pan sauce using shallots, red wine and a bit of chicken stock and was able to use the brown bits in the skillet and added a touch of butter for a bit of sheen.

Last summer, we had some fresh tomatillo from our farmer's share, then we found this recipe and gave it a try. The flavor was so good, we followed the recipe exactly, but you don't like too spicy, you can reduce the amount of the green chilis. The result will be still outstanding! It can be served warm or chilled.
