Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 8 oz tomatillos
Husk the tomatillos and cut them into smallish pieces so they catch in the blender blades.
Husking and cutting the tomatillos
  • serrano
  • cilantro
Roughly chop the chili (serrano here; start with about half a jalapeno if using one) and add with a handful of cilantro.
  • ⅓ cup water
Add about a third of a cup of water and blend, starting on low and turning it up, to a slushy puree.
  • 1 whole ripe avocado
  • salt
Scoop in a ripe avocado, add salt, and puree again until thickened.
  • ¼ cup white onion
Chop about a quarter cup of white onion, rinse in a strainer under very cold water, shake dry, and stir into the salsa rather than blending it.
