Tomatillo-Green Guacamole

This is a very different, but delicious, take on guacamole from what I’m used to “ the tomatillos provide tanginess and the roasted garlic and serranos provide flavour and heat.

The guacamole is simple to make but does start with a batch of Essential Roasted Tomatillo Serrano Salsa, made by broiling tomatillos in the oven until blackened, toasting serranos and garlic in a skillet and pureeing these ingredients together. This is then added to mashed ripe avocados along with chopped onion and cilantro. I’m becoming more accustomed to the whole process of making these essential sauces so it’s not taking me nearly as long, and, fortunately, this mixture doesn’t need to be strained.

Vegetarian daughter was helping to make this as its final destination was a party she was attending so I only had a quick taste when it was done. I thought it was very good and my daughter loved it, in particular the mellowness and deep, almost sweet flavours of the roasted garlic and chile. Definitely something to repeat when I get my hands on more fresh tomatillos!
