Makes 1 1/3 Cup
Ingredients
4 Fresh Tomatillos [husk removed & quartered into four]
1 Jalapeno or one chile Serrano [remove seeds and quarter into two]
1 Small onion [quartered in four]
1 Small garlic clove [skin off, leave clove whole]
2 Small avocados
[If you don’t have small avocados you can use 1 medium avocado]
7 Sprigs of cilantro please use the stems [wash and dry]
1 Teaspoon of salt [finely ground]
Preparation
Start by prepping all of the ingredients first, before we start blending things up. In a blender, food processor or nutri-bullet place in your four quartered tomatillos, either one jalapeno or one Serrano chile that has been sliced in half and deseeded; add in your quartered small onion, small whole garlic clove and blend this together until it’s slightly creamy yet chunky. The key is to blend the thickest vegetables first and then the lighter ingredients later.
Pop open the lid of the blender and add in your avocados, the easiest way is just to slice them in the middle, remove the pit and scoop out the avocado meat directly into the blender. Next add in your cilantro with stems and all, making sure that you’ve prepped them beforehand by washing them and drying them with your kitchen paper towel; we want to make sure there isn’t any excess of water in the salsa. Whiz once again until everything is blended. Lastly open the lid again and add in your one teaspoon of finely ground salt and whiz away for the last time. Once the salsa is done pour it in a bowl, store it up or use it for your next delicious marinade.
Enjoy!
