Categories     easy, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, serving six

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound fresh tomatillos, husked
1 jalapeño or 2 to 3 serrano chilies, seeded if desired and roughly chopped
10 cilantro sprigs, plus additional leaves for garnish
Salt to taste
2 small or 1 1/2 large ripe avocados
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender, tipping in any juice that has accumulated on the baking sheet. Add the chilies, cilantro sprigs and salt to the blender and blend to a coarse purée.
  • Cut the avocados in half and twist the two halves apart. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl or the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Mash with a fork or pestle. Do not use a food processor or a blender, as you want to retain some texture. Stir in the lime juice, the tomatillo mixture and salt to taste and combine well. Transfer to a bowl and serve with baked or microwaved tortilla chips or crudités, or use for tacos or avocado sandwiches.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
1 white onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded if desired
1 ½ cups water, or amount to cover
salt to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
3 ripe avocados, halved lengthwise and pitted

Steps:

  • Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers into a saucepan over medium heat, and pour in enough water to cover. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the tomatillos soften and change color from bright green to a yellow-green color, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the tomatillo mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute; mix in salt, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend again for a few seconds just to mix.
  • Scoop out the avocado flesh, and place into the blender; blend until well mixed. Adjust salt, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.

Provided by Ceezie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -2 fresh jalapeno, stems removed, and chiles halved and seeded
1/2 medium white onion, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tomatillo, papery skin removed
1 avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon lime juice (plus (to taste)
1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro leaf, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt (plus (to taste)
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • In a large, unoiled frying pan over medium heat, pan-roast the Jalapeños, onion, garlic, and tomatillo on all sides, 20 to 25 minutes total.
  • In a blender, whirl the vegetables with water until blended but still chunky.
  • Add avocado and lime juice; pulse until blended.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • Don't overcook the tomatillos. Overcooked tomatillos will lose their flavor and become mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the tomatillos. This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised.
  • Add the tomatillos to the guacamole just before serving. This will help to prevent them from discoloring.
  • If you're making guacamole ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Tomatillo guacamole is a delicious and refreshing dip that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
