This recipe fell under the Latin-fusion category of the cookbook. I made it for a Halloween party and was intrigued by the creaminess of the avocados and the pop of the jalepeno.
10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 jalepeno pepper
1 whole onion, peeled and quartered
3 avocados
handful of cilantro
1 C water
freshly ground salt to taste
Roast the tomatillos, pepper, and onion in a 350 degree oven until the tomatillos are soft and the onion is wilted. In batches, blend the tomatillos, pepper, onion, and avocados in a blender with water. Season to taste with freshly ground salt.
