Ingredients:
6 ounce(s) tomatillos (approx. 6 tomatillos) husked and rinsed |
1/2 whole(s) small red onion finely chopped |
3-4 whole(s) fresh serrano chiles seeded (optional) and finely chopped |
1/2 cup(s) fresh cilantro chopped |
1 teaspoon(s) salt |
1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper |
2 whole(s) large california avocados (approx. 1 lb.) |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Broil tomatillos in a flameproof shallow baking pan about 4 inches from heat until tops are charred, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn tomatillos over with tongs and broil until charred, about 5 minutes more.
3. Combine onion, chiles, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add tomatillos 2 at a time, mashing with a fork or pestle to form a coarse paste.
4. Pit and peel avocados. Add avocados to mixture and continue mashing until incorporated but still chunky.
5. Cooks' notes: ·Seed about half of chiles for moderately spicy guacamole, all of them for mild.
6. Guacamole may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
