Guacamole Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 pound tomatillos (husked and rinsed)
• 1 garlic clove (peeled)
• 1 jalapeño chile
• 1 serrano chile
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped onion
• 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and upper stems)
• 1 large avocado halved (pitted, meat scooped out, and chopped)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the tomatillos, garlic clove, and chiles in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatillos are mushy and very soft but have not begun to break apart.

2. 2

   With a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos, chiles, and garlic to a blender. Add the onion, cilantro, avocado, and salt and puree until smooth.

3. 3

   Serve at once, or transfer to a container, placing a sheet of plastic wrap directly against the surface before topping with the lid to keep the nice green color. The salsa can be refrigerated for a couple of days. Stir before you use it.
