Avocado Tomatillo Salsa - Old Bay - 02-12-2007
This is really good served with fish and shrimp, grilled, breaded or fried, so don't just limit it to chips. The tomatillos and avocados really contrast and work well together.
8 tomatillos, husk removed, and coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 jalapeno peppers chopped
salt and black pepper
2 medium avocados, peeled, pitted,and diced into 1/4 inch pieces
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and small stems only, finely chopped.
In a food processor place the tomatillos, garlic, jalapeno, onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Process until roughly smooth, then stir in the avocados and cilantro.You can add sugar if it is too tart. Let it sit for 2 hours before serving. This is from Marc Greene's Old Mexico Grill in Sante Fe.
Just to let you all know I will be out with surgery for a very early cancer--prognosis is really good--probably no chemo or radiation. I will be out until probably 2/26--so wish me well. I will miss all of you--so try the salsa and think of Old Bay!! Back in March!!!

ETA: The salsa looks great...thanks for the recipe!

A speedy recovery to you. I am glad it is a good prognosis. We will look forward to hearing from you in March.

I'm so glad it was found early. Sounds like everything will be fine but I know your anxiety level has to have risen. Take care and we'll be awaiting your return.
Thanks for the salsa recipe...!

Bumping this back up for anyone who hasn't made it yet. I'm making the salsa today. Really good stuff. (This originally went with the potato chorizo tacos which must be made again soon).
