Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole
Ingredients
* 1 or 2 fresh Jalapeños, 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
* At least 1 tablespoon lime juice
* 1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, chopped
* At least 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
1. 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.
2. In a blender, whirl the vegetables with 1/4 cup water until blended but still chunky. Add avocado and lime juice; pulse until blended. Add cilantro and salt, pulse to combine, and add more salt and/or lime juice to taste.
For all you spicy eaters, think about adding more of an intense flavor to your homemade guacamole with the addition of pan-roasted jalapeño peppers and roasted tomatillos. It will have you on fire!
Makes 1 1/2 cups but plan to make a lot more for those fans! 30 minutes from fridge to plate.
