INSTRUCTIONS
(from Dave deWitt and Nancy Gerlach's "Habanero Cookbook")
Put all ingredients except lime juice and salt in a food processor and
puree. Add lime juice till desired consistency is achieved (less-ripe
avocados make it thicker and chunkier, riper ones make it smoother and
runnier). Taste and add salt as desired. Top grilled fish or chicken with
sauce and enjoy. Remnants of sauce will keep about 2 days in the fridge.
Also makes a great party dip.
NOTE on tomatillos: if using canned tomatillos, they can be added to the
mix directly. If using fresh ones, husk and wash them, then boil in water
to cover for about 5-7 minutes, until soft. Run under cold water to cool,
quarter, and add with the other ingredients for the puree.
